Overview of components

Fork material

When it comes to the fork, this bike has a steel one, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.

Wheels

The Fairfax SC 2018 bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.

Brakes

We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Fairfax SC comes with Rim brakes. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.

Sizes

Fairfax SC comes in 5 sizes, that range from 156 cm – 195 cm (5.12 ft – 6.4 ft). In short, it won’t be difficult to find the right one for you.
