Overview of components
Fork
Radon SKEEN TRAIL AL 8.0 2020 bike is equipped with the RockShox Revelation RC fork, and has 130mm travel. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this bike is RockShox Monarch RT3, with a travel distance of 120mm. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. In short, a full-suspension bike will give you the smoothest ride possible.
