Overview of components
Fork
The Mesa 3 comes factory-installed with the Zoom fork. This has a travel range of 80mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Fork material
The fork is made out of steel, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Mesa 3 model has 27.5″ aluminum wheels. The 27.5″ wheels are a great choice for smaller riders. However, these wheels have a slower top speed if you compare them to 29″ wheels.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Mesa 3 has Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
Sizes
