Overview of components
Fork material
C420 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
When leaving the production line, the C420 model has 700c aluminum wheels. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Trek C420 has Coaster brakes installed. These brakes are pretty efficient, and they’re not so pricey. However, they have flaws, especially if the chain falls off.
