Juliet 15 components
Fork
This bike has the SunTour XCT fork installed. The fork’s travel is 100mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Wheels size
The wheels on Juliet 15 are the 27.5″ aluminum type. These wheels will provide you with more control over the bike. However, the 27.5″ wheels are less forgiving than the 29″ wheels.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Merida Juliet 15 is equipped with Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
