Overview of components
Fork material
T 900 has a steel fork, which tends to be more flexible than carbon forks in general. However, a carbon fork is considerably lighter.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the T 900 bike is equipped with the 26″ model. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Trek T 900 has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
