Overview of components
Fork
The RockShox Recon Silver RL is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 130mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
