Overview of components
Fork
The Sonora comes factory-installed with the RockShox SID fork. This has a travel range of 100mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Wheels size
The wheels on Sonora are the 29″ aluminum type. These wheels are more forgiving when you go over roots, rocks, bumps, or other obstacles you encounter on your ride. However, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the bike itself.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Sonora comes with 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, these are ideal for anyone.
