Suspensions
Front suspension: MANITOU MINUTE COMP fork with 120 mm travel: the standard in terms of sensitivity to minor bumps. Fork equipped with a 3-position handlebar lockout: the ComboLock. The ComboLock is an ergonomic, integrated system (part of the handles to absorb impacts) that is easy to use. 15 mm axle, for greater stiffness. 32 mm dampers. - Rear suspension: Manitou Radium Expert shock provides the bike with greater sensitivity. Shock with 3 modes of use. Open mode: the shock absorber is very sensitive and rides smoothly over bumps, perfect for rough terrain. Trail mode for providing better grip when climbing difficult hills. Lockout mode: the shock is stiffer for faster riding on smoother terrain.

Wheels
MAVIC CROSS RIDE FT SX 27.5-inch wheels: lightweight and stiff. Everything you need for fast acceleration and efficient steering. The 27.5 inch wheels provide a good compromise: they have more traction and ease of riding over obstacles than a 26" wheel, while limiting the negative impact of inertia on the bike's steering and responsiveness and the loss of rigidity of a 29" wheel.
