Overview of components
Fork
The Jynx Sport 650b comes factory-installed with the SunTour XCT fork. This has a travel range of 80mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Fork material
The fork 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 size
When it comes to wheels, the Jynx Sport 650b bike is equipped with the 27.5″ aluminum model. The 27.5″ wheels are a great choice for smaller riders. However, the 27.5″ wheels are less forgiving than the 29″ wheels.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike 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.
Sizes
Specialized Jynx Sport 650b 2016 is available in one size only. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
