TARO components
Fork
This bike has the RockShox Sektor fork installed. The fork’s travel is 120mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the TARO model has 29″ aluminum wheels. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, these wheels are not ideal for smaller people.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike has Mechanical Disc brakes. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, with hydraulic disk brakes, you have the ultimate braking power!
Sizes
This bike is available in 4 sizes. They vary from 152 cm – 195 cm (4.99 ft – 6.4 ft). In conclusion, it won’t take much to find one that’s right for you.
