Fork setup and ride comfort
The RockShox Recon Silver fork with 100 mm of travel offers controlled support on rough paths. Adjustable rebound and lockout give riders the choice between plush absorption or firm pedal efficiency, depending on terrain and energy level.
Drivetrain and braking refinement
Shifting precision and control
The Shimano Altus 1x10 drivetrain keeps chain management simple while providing wide gear range for climbs and speed. Combined with smooth-shifting internals, this setup supports consistent cadence on long rides.
Shimano hydraulic disc brakes deliver strong, modulated power in a variety of weather conditions. The layout reduces maintenance frequency while maintaining confident stopping power when it matters most.
