Defy Advanced SL 1 components
Fork material

Wheels
The wheels on Defy Advanced SL 1 are the 700c aluminum type. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
