Overview of components
Fork material
ARX 26 has an aluminum fork, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels
The wheels on ARX 26 are the 26″ aluminum type. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The ARX 26 comes with Rim brakes. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.

Giant ARX 26 2020 is available in one size only. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
