Overview of components
Fork

Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Advance model has 26″ wheels. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike has Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they have problems in wet conditions.

Advance comes in 6 sizes, that range from 156 cm – 182 cm (5.12 ft – 5.97 ft). In short, it won’t be difficult to find the right one for you.
