The 120mm-travel Camber Grom is built with young riders in mind, featuring 24" wheels for a low standover height, the Grom can easily be converted to 26" wheels as the youngster grows taller.

M5 alloy FSR frame w/ 24" geometry and 110mm of travel for a lightweight trail weapon
Custom Fox Float CTD Evolution Series shock for premium on-trail performance
RockShox Recon Gold 110mm-travel fork provides smooth XC traction and control


So, how much travel? :? Nice one Specialized.

There are two settings for the rear suspension, for each of the two wheel sizes----which is actually pretty cool too.

You can't add more travel to rear suspension, unless you change the shock.

It is good when a bicycle designer says "Can we do this?" instead of "We can't do this".

Many companies employ this feature:
