Vita Sport components
Fork material
Vita Sport has an aluminum fork, so there won’t be much extra weight added to the bike. However, they are not so stiff as carbon forks are.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Vita Sport model has 700c aluminum wheels. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Vita Sport has Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In conclusion, double-check its size to make sure it’s a good fit for you.
