Fork
This bike has the RockShox Reba fork installed. The fork’s travel is 80mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. To sum up, when buying a bicycle, make sure you get a fork that is capable of delivering decent travel.
Fork material
X-Caliber has an aluminum fork, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels
The wheels on X-Caliber are the 29″ 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 X-Caliber has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. They deliver good performance and cost less than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
Sizes
X-Caliber comes in 4 sizes, that range from 158 cm – 199 cm (5.18 ft – 6.53 ft). In conclusion, finding one for you shouldn’t be a problem.
