Overview of components
Fork
This bike has the RockShox Reba fork installed. The fork’s travel is 80mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Wheels
The wheels on Ferrous 29 are the 29″ aluminum type. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Trek Ferrous 29 is equipped with Mechanical Disc brakes. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, with hydraulic disk brakes, you have the ultimate braking power!
Sizes
Ferrous 29 comes in 4 sizes, that range from 158 cm – 199 cm (5.18 ft – 6.53 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
