Overview of components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has a steel one, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.
Wheels size
The Gloss 2013 bike is equipped with 24″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. 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 Gloss comes with Coaster brakes. These brakes are pretty efficient, and they’re not so pricey. However, if your chain falls off or snaps, your coaster brakes won’t function anymore.
