Overview of components
Fork
This bike has the Fox Factory Float 34 fork installed. The fork’s travel is 130mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this bike is FOX Factory Float EVOL, with a travel distance of 130mm. Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. In short, a full-suspension bike will give you the smoothest ride possible.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Fuel EX 9.9 29 bike is equipped with the 29″ carbon model. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, these wheels are not ideal for smaller people.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike has Hydraulic Disc brakes. These kinds of brakes are among the most popular models used on bikes. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
