Overview of components
Fork
This bike has the SunTour XCT fork installed. The fork’s travel 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.
Wheels
The LAVA DOME 2015 bike is equipped with 29″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Kona LAVA DOME has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
