Overview of components
Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the Manitou Machete Comp model. The travel on this model is 130mm. 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 Manitou Radium Expert, with a travel distance of 120mm. Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. In short, a full-suspension bike will give you the smoothest ride possible.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Nerd Lite bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Nerd Lite has Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
Sizes

Dropper post
A dropper post is included with the Nerd Lite. 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.
