Overview of components
Fork material
URBAN XPRESS 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 wheels on URBAN XPRESS are the 700c aluminum type. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes
