Flight Pro components
Fork material
Flight Pro has a carbon fork, so, its weight is considerably lighter than one made out of steel. However, they cost a bit more than steel forks.
Wheels
As for the wheels, Redline Flight Pro 2014, has a 20″ aluminum model. This wheel size is used on bike models like BMX, children, or folding bikes. In conclusion, you can use them better on-road, and less on technical terrain.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Flight Pro comes with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
