Cadet components
Fork material
Cadet has a steel fork, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Cadet bike is equipped with the 20″ aluminum model. This wheel size is used on bike models like BMX, children, or folding bikes. In conclusion, they are great for flat ground or very easy trails.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Cadet 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.
