Shifting is a breeze through all 27 speeds thanks to the Shimano Deore LX 27 speed drivetrain. Bumps are no-problem with the SR Suntour Axon Air Suspension Fork with a lockout. The lockout means you can turn the suspension on and off. With suspension, some of your pedal efficiency can be lost due to the bike bouncing somewhat when you are really pedaling hard. If you are on flat ground and in a big hurry, simply turn the suspension off and increase your efficiency. When needed, turn it back on again. The brakes are powerful ProMax linear pull brakes for quick stopping power. The adjustable angle stem and suspension seatpost will add extra comfort while riding and allow the bike to better fit the rider. The bike is rounded out with Ritchey OCR bullet proof (just kidding) rims and a Shimano rear cassette. The perfect mount for all forces.
