Overview of components
Fork
The Jett 29 comes factory-installed with the RockShox fork. This has a travel range of 80mm. 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.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Jett 29 model has 29″ aluminum wheels. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Jett 29 has Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
