Overview of components
Fork material
The fork is made out of steel, which tends to be more flexible than carbon forks in general. However, a carbon fork is considerably lighter.
Wheels size
As for the wheels, Blix Sol 2019, has a aluminum model. The 650b wheels are very similar to 700c, with a slight difference in diameter. However, if speed is what you’re after, 700c wheels are a better fit.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Sol comes with Rim brakes. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
