Overview of 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 size
The wheels on TX-800 are the 700c aluminum type. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The TX-800 comes with Hydraulic Rim brakes. These brakes are pretty rare, and you will find them on very few bike models. In short, search for a bike that has hydraulic brakes, as they deliver way better performance.
