Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the RockShox 30 Silver TK model. The travel on this model is 100mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Fork material
The fork is made out of aluminum, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels size
The ALITE 2000 2012 bike is equipped with 26″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The ALITE 2000 has Mechanical Disc brakes. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
Sizes
KHS ALITE 2000 2012 is available in one size only. In short, make sure you double-check if it fits you.
