Overview of components
Rear Shock
Bike rear shocks increase the riding comfort, and also give you more control over technical trails. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels size
The wheels on Lush SL 29 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, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Trek Lush SL 29 has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and commuting. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
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.
