Overview of components
Fork
This bike has the SunTour fork installed. The fork’s travel is 100mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has an aluminum one, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the DURANGO A2 bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the bike itself.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Jamis DURANGO A2 has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
