In short, before purchasing your ideal bike do some research about its components, and also check for reviews online.
Overview of components
Fork
The Fox Performance Float 34 is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 120mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the FOX Float DPS Performance rear shock model, which has a travel of 110mm. Rear shocks give you increased comfort, control, and traction, which is important when cornering or braking. This allows you to ride faster on bumpy roads. To sum up, get a full-suspension bike if you want the smoothest rides.
Wheels
As for the wheels, Orange Stage 4 Pro Shimano XT Build 2018, has a 29″ aluminum model. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Orange Stage 4 Pro Shimano XT Build has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and commuting. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Sizes
Orange Stage 4 Pro Shimano XT Build bike has 3 sizes, in the range of 165 cm – 198 cm (5.41 ft – 6.5 ft). In conclusion, you won’t have a problem finding one that suits you.
Dropper post
Orange Stage 4 Pro Shimano XT Build comes with a dropper post. 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.
