Overview of components
Fork material
The fork is made out of steel, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the GREEN 8 bike is equipped with the 700c aluminum model. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. KHS GREEN 8 is equipped with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
KHS GREEN 8 2016 is available in one size only. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
