Overview of components
Fork material
The fork on this bike 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
The wheels on Verza Cruz 7 are the aluminum type. 650b wheels make a great choice if you want to sacrifice speed for comfort. However, if speed is what you’re after, 700c wheels are a better fit.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Felt Verza Cruz 7 has Rim brakes installed. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
