Overview of components
Fork material
Cruiseliner has a steel fork, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.
Wheels
The Cruiseliner 2008 bike is equipped with 26″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. The 26″ wheels are lighter than the 27.5 or 29″ wheels. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike has Coaster brakes. Coaster brakes are among the oldest brake types you can find on a bike. However, if your chain falls off or snaps, your coaster brakes won’t function anymore.
