Overview of components
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the C29 Elite Gent model has 29″ aluminum wheels. These wheels are more forgiving when you go over roots, rocks, bumps, or other obstacles you encounter on your ride. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The C29 Elite Gent comes with Mechanical Disc brakes. These brakes are also very popular, and a lot cheaper than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
