Overview of components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has a carbon one, so, it is super light and stiff. In conclusion, a carbon fork gives you great control when steering, and is also more forgiving.
Wheels
The DA4 650 2012 bike is equipped with aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. The 650c wheels are smaller in diameter than 700c. However, they are a little lighter than 700c wheels.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Felt DA4 650 has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
