Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the Fox Factory Float 32 model. The travel on this model is 100mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this bike is FOX Factory DPS, with a travel distance of 100mm. Rear shocks improve riding comfort and give you greater control over all terrains. In short, a full-suspension bike will give you the smoothest ride possible.
Wheels size
The SNIPER XC PRO 2019 bike is equipped with 29″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The SNIPER XC PRO has Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In short, make sure you double-check if it fits you.
Dropper post
A dropper post is included with the SNIPER XC PRO. Therefore, climbing or descending will be a breeze.
