Safety
Your safety should be the top priority when you go for a ride. In short, make sure that you always use a helmet, high visibility clothing, and proper lights when riding at night-time.
Touring bikes average price
If you want to purchase a solid Touring bike, it is important to know that the average cost is 1007$. However, you could also get a good Touring bike even if you pay a lower amount than the average price. To make sure you don’t pay a higher amount than normal for your bike, always do some components analysis and read reviews.
Internal Cable Routing
This bike has an internal cable routing. As a result, this helps to preserve the bike’s cables. No more cables around your bike.
AWOL components
Fork material
AWOL has a steel fork, which tends to be more flexible than carbon forks in general. However, a carbon fork is considerably lighter.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the AWOL model has 700c aluminum wheels. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The AWOL comes with Mechanical Disc brakes. They deliver good performance and cost less than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
