The Rock Shox Monarch 3.1 rear shock has an air spring, rebound and Floodgate. This rear shock will absorb landings so that the rider's body doesn't. The Mongoose Alloy pedals are platform style, which helps to ensure that the rider's feet have less of a chance of slipping off. The pedals come with replaceable pins, so there is no worry about losing a part. The shifters on the Mongoose 2010 Nugget are SRAM X.7 9 speed shifters. These shifters allow the rider to go through speeds smoothly but quickly. This is a feature especially useful for unknown terrain, where an unforeseen speed change may be needed. There are many premium features on the Mongoose 2010 Nugget, but the price tag seems a little steep for what is offered.
