URBAN XCAPE components
Fork material
URBAN XCAPE has a steel fork, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.
Wheels
The URBAN XCAPE 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, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. KHS URBAN XCAPE is equipped with Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
KHS URBAN XCAPE 2018 is available in one size only. In conclusion, double-check its size to make sure it’s a good fit for you.
