Overview of components
Fork
The Alpine 6 S comes factory-installed with the RockShox Yari RC fork. This has a travel range of 170mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Rear Shock
The Alpine 6 S has a rear shock with a travel of 165mm. The model RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ is the one installed in this bike. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. To sum up, always consider getting a bike that has a rear shock as well.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Alpine 6 S bike is equipped with the 27.5″ aluminum model. The 27.5″ wheels are a great choice for smaller riders. 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. Orange Alpine 6 S is equipped with 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 Alpine 6 S. 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.
