FX 1 components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has a steel one, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the FX 1 bike is equipped with the 700c aluminum model. 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
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Trek FX 1 is equipped with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
