Opie components
Fork
The Opie comes factory-installed with the SunTour XCM fork. This has a travel range of 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
The wheels on Opie are the 26″ aluminum type. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Trek Opie is equipped with Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
Sizes
Trek Opie bike has 5 sizes, in the range of 156 cm – 195 cm (5.12 ft – 6.4 ft). In short, it won’t be difficult to find the right one for you.
