This bike features Shimano's new SLX components, with SLX rapid fire shifters and an XT rear derailluer, Deore front derailleur, and Race Face Ride XC crankset. The Rock Shox Recon SL Air fork is of the 100mm variety, and is equipped with lockout to allow a rider’s power to be converted into speed for climbing up hills. The hydraulic disc brakes are Avid Juicy 3s, while the rims are Mavic XM 117s. These manufacturing choices allow for the total cost of the bike to be kept to a minimum, while still providing adequate performance. The included pedals are of the Crank Brothers Smarty assortment.
