Capitola components
Wheels
The Capitola 2003 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 are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Capitola comes with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
Capitola comes in 7 sizes, that range from 158 cm – 189 cm (5.18 ft – 6.2 ft). In conclusion, finding one for you shouldn’t be a problem.
