Search XR Carbon Ultegra 650b 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 Search XR Carbon Ultegra 650b model has aluminum wheels. After 700c wheels, 650b is the second most popular choice for road bikes. However, they don’t perform so well when you go over bumps and obstacles.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Search XR Carbon Ultegra 650b has Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
