It is also built with hydraulic lockout and preload adjustment to determine whether the suspension should be turned on or not.

Easily set through the shifter lever, the riders could operate the gear with up to 27 gear options. The brake system utilizes Shimano BR-M315 hydraulic disc brakes with 160 mm rotor for a responsive and smooth stopping. Thus, it also means less maintenance would be needed for the brake parts.
