Fork
This bike has the SunTour fork installed. The fork’s travel is 30mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Fork material
The fork is made out of aluminum, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Edge 20 model has 20″ aluminum wheels. The 20″ wheels are a good fit for folding bikes, BMX, or children bikes. In conclusion, they are great for flat ground or very easy trails.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Rocky Mountain Edge 20 is equipped with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
