Overview of components
Fork
The Jynx 650b comes factory-installed with the SunTour XCT 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
Jynx 650b has an aluminum fork, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Jynx 650b bike is equipped with the 27.5″ aluminum model. 27.5″ wheels are a mixture between 29″ wheels and 26″ wheels. However, the overall traction of 27.5″ wheels is lower than 29″ wheels.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Jynx 650b has Mechanical Disc brakes. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, with hydraulic disk brakes, you have the ultimate braking power!
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In short, make sure you double-check if it fits you.
