Camber Elite Carbon 29 components
Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the RockShox Revelation RC model. The travel on this model is 110mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
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
The shock that’s installed on this bike is Custom FOX Float CTD Performance w/ AUTOSAG, with a travel distance of 110mm. Rear shocks give you increased comfort, control, and traction, which is important when cornering or braking. This allows you to ride faster on bumpy roads. In conclusion, to increase your riding experience, get a bike with a rear shock if possible.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Camber Elite Carbon 29 bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the bike itself.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Camber Elite Carbon 29 comes with Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and commuting. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Sizes
Camber Elite Carbon 29 comes in 4 sizes, that range from 158 cm – 199 cm (5.18 ft – 6.53 ft). In conclusion, finding one for you shouldn’t be a problem.
Dropper post
Specialized Camber Elite Carbon 29 comes with a dropper post. 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.
