Saratoga 1.0 (US only / Step-through) components
Fork
The Saratoga 1.0 (US only / Step-through) comes factory-installed with the SunTour fork. This has a travel range of 50mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Saratoga 1.0 (US only / Step-through) model has 26″ aluminum wheels. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Saratoga 1.0 (US only / Step-through) has Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
