Gambler 710 components
Fork
The Fox Factory Float 40 is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 203mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Fork material
The fork on this bike 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.
Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the FOX Float X2 Air Kashima Independent rear shock model, which has a travel of 210mm. 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.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Gambler 710 model has 27.5″ aluminum wheels. The 27.5″ wheels are a great choice for smaller riders. However, the overall traction of 27.5″ wheels is lower than 29″ wheels.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Scott Gambler 710 is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
