Fork material
ALITE 2000 (Ladies) has an aluminum fork, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels
The wheels on ALITE 2000 (Ladies) are the 26″ aluminum type. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes

Sizes
