Rear Shock

Wheels

Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Spark 945 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.

Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
