Fork material

Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the X Fusion 02RC rear shock model, which has a travel of 100mm. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. In short, a full-suspension bike will give you the smoothest ride possible.
