Rear Shock

Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. To sum up, always consider getting a bike that has a rear shock as well.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the PRESCOTT bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
