Overview of components
Fork material
Shift 1 has a steel fork, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels
The wheels on Shift 1 are the 26″ aluminum type. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Trek Shift 1 is equipped with Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
