ATOMIK components
Fork
The RockShox BoXXer is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 203mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. To sum up, when buying a bicycle, make sure you get a fork that is capable of delivering decent travel.
Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this bike is Fox DHX-3 w/ factory tuned ProPedal, with a travel distance of 198mm. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. In short, a full-suspension bike will give you the smoothest ride possible.
Wheels size
The ATOMIK 2009 bike is equipped with 26″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike has Hydraulic Disc brakes. These kinds of brakes are among the most popular models used on bikes. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
