The fork installed on this bike is the Manitou Markhor model. The travel on this model is 100mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Wheels

Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Merida BIG.NINE NX-EDITION has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. These kinds of brakes are among the most popular models used on bikes. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
