Indie 2 components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has a steel one, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels size
The wheels on Indie 2 are the 700c aluminum type. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Indie 2 has Mechanical Disc brakes. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
