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
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Verza Cruz 21 has Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
