Overview of components
Fork material
The fork is made out of carbon, so, it is super light and stiff. In conclusion, a carbon fork gives you great control when steering, and is also more forgiving.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Warroad Carbon Apex 1 650 model has aluminum wheels. 650b wheels make a great choice if you want to sacrifice speed for comfort. However, they don’t perform so well when you go over bumps and obstacles.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Salsa Warroad Carbon Apex 1 650 has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
