Spark 900 Ultimate components
Fork
The Spark 900 Ultimate comes factory-installed with the Fox Factory Float 34 fork. This has a travel range of 130mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this bike is FOX NUDE 5T Factory EVOL Trunnion, 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, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels size
The Spark 900 Ultimate 2023 bike is equipped with 29″ carbon wheels when leaving the factory. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the bike itself.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike has 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, your safety is in good hands.
Sizes
Spark 900 Ultimate comes in 4 sizes, that range from 158 cm – 199 cm (5.18 ft – 6.53 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. Needless to say, a dropper post will come in handy on climbs and descends. You’ll fall in love with it at first sight!
