Overview of components
Fork material
Grand Sport has an aluminum fork, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels size
The wheels on Grand Sport are the 700c aluminum type. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. 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. Raleigh Grand Sport has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
