Fork
Transition RIPCORD Complete 2018 bike is equipped with the RockShox 30 Silver TK fork, and has 100mm travel. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the RIPCORD Complete bike is equipped with the 26″ aluminum model. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Transition RIPCORD Complete has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
