Fork material
The fork on this frame is made out of carbon, so, it’s a great addition to the frame’s value. However, carbon forks should be regularly inspected for damage because even the smallest crack could cause the fork to fall apart.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This frame has Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
