Verza Cruz 21 components
Fork material
The fork is made out of steel, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels
The Verza Cruz 21 2018 bike is equipped with aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. After 700c wheels, 650b is the second most popular choice for road bikes. However, if you want higher speeds, you should look for a bike with 700c wheels.
Brakes
