The Fluid VLT A2 has a rear shock with a travel of 130mm. The model X-Fusion 02 Pro R Air is the one installed in this e-bike. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. To sum up, get a full-suspension bike if you want the smoothest rides.
Wheels
