Overview of components
Fork
This e-bike has the Fox Rhythm Float 34 fork installed. The fork’s travel is 140mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the Fox Performance Float Trunnion rear shock model, which has a travel of 130mm. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. In conclusion, to increase your riding experience, get a bike with a rear shock if possible.
Wheels
The wheels on Remote 130 are the 29″ aluminum type. 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
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Kona Remote 130 has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Sizes
Remote 130 comes in 4 sizes, that range from 152 cm – 195 cm (4.99 ft – 6.4 ft). In short, it won’t be difficult to find the right one for you.
Dropper post
The Kona model is also equipped with a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
