Circa 2 components
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of aluminum, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Circa 2 bike is equipped with the aluminum model. 650b wheels make a great choice if you want to sacrifice speed for comfort. However, they don’t perform so well when you go over bumps and obstacles.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Circa 2 has 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
Circa 2 comes in 3 sizes, that range from 158 cm – 187 cm (5.18 ft – 6.14 ft). In conclusion, finding one for you shouldn’t be a problem.
