Cruiser Lux 3i Step-Over components
Fork material
The fork is made out of steel, 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 Cruiser Lux 3i Step-Over model has 26″ aluminum wheels. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Cruiser Lux 3i Step-Over comes with Coaster brakes. Coaster brakes are among the oldest brake types you can find on a bike. However, they have flaws, especially if the chain falls off.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In short, make sure you double-check if it fits you.
