C8i Alfine Disc components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has a steel one, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.
Wheels size
The C8i Alfine Disc 2022 bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
