Overview of components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this e-bike has an aluminum one, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the e-bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels
The CITI 2020 e-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.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The CITI comes with Rim brakes. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
