Overview of components
Fork material
Taj 27.5″ has a steel fork, which tends to be more flexible than carbon forks in general. However, a carbon fork is considerably lighter.
Wheels size
The wheels on Taj 27.5″ are the aluminum type. 650b wheels make a great choice if you want to sacrifice speed for comfort. However, if speed is what you’re after, 700c wheels are a better fit.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Taj 27.5″ has Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
