Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the Manitou model. The travel on this model is 100mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Cake 2_GS model has 26″ wheels. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
