B-Drive components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has an aluminum one, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the B-Drive bike is equipped with the 700c aluminum model. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Aquila B-Drive has Rim brakes installed. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
