Overview of components
Fork
The Big.Nine CF XO-Edition comes factory-installed with the RockShox Reba fork. This has a travel range of 100mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Big.Nine CF XO-Edition 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, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Big.Nine CF XO-Edition has Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
