Absolute 2.1 ST components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has a steel one, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Absolute 2.1 ST model has 700c aluminum wheels. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Fuji Absolute 2.1 ST has Rim brakes installed. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.

Absolute 2.1 ST comes in 3 sizes, that range from 158 cm – 187 cm (5.18 ft – 6.14 ft). In conclusion, it won’t take much to find one that’s right for you.
