Overview of components
Fork material
XS has an aluminum fork, so there won’t be much extra weight added to the e-bike. However, they are not so stiff as carbon forks are.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the XS model has 26″ aluminum wheels. The 26″ wheels are lighter than the 27.5 or 29″ wheels. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The XS has Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
