Rear Shock

Bike rear shocks increase the riding comfort, and also give you more control over technical trails. To sum up, always consider getting a bike that has a rear shock as well.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Sight VLT A1 29 model has 29″ aluminum wheels. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, 29″ wheels will make your e-bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Sight VLT A1 29 has Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and commuting. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.

Dropper post
A dropper post is included with the Sight VLT A1 29. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
