Overview of components
Fork material
The fork is made out of steel, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the URBAN XCAPE (Ladies) bike is equipped with the 700c aluminum model. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The URBAN XCAPE (Ladies) comes with Rim brakes. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In short, make sure you double-check if it fits you.
