Overview of components
Fork material
District SSB 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 size
When it comes to wheels, the District SSB bike is equipped with the 700c aluminum model. 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
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Trek District SSB is equipped with Mechanical Disc brakes. They deliver good performance and cost less than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
