Overview of components

Fork material
The fork is made out of aluminum, so there won’t be much extra weight added to the bike. However, they are not so stiff as carbon forks are.
Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this bike is FOX VAN RC Coil Low comp., with a travel distance of 210mm. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Gambler 720 model has 27.5″ aluminum wheels. 27.5″ wheels are a mixture between 29″ wheels and 26″ wheels. However, the 27.5″ wheels are less forgiving than the 29″ wheels.
Brakes
