This allows you to use a shock pump to adjust the air pressure inside the fork to perfectly match your body weight. Whether you are a lighter or heavier rider, you get custom-tuned, plush suspension performance.

By removing the front derailleur, you only have one shifter on the right side of your handlebar to worry about. The wide-range 11-42t rear cassette still provides plenty of low-gear options to climb steep hills while making the drivetrain lighter, quieter, and virtually maintenance-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"13,15\"\u003eAuthentic Local Stock – Skip Port Surcharges \u0026amp; Customs Hassles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,16\"\u003eAvoid the extreme frustration of trying to buy high-quality sport mountain bikes, entry-level components, and trail gear from international online storefronts, only to face weeks of shipping delays, exorbitant courier freight minimums, or unexpected port clearance hold-ups at the border.
