Overview of components
Fork material

Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Valence 105 Forma model has 700c aluminum wheels. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
