Fork material
Cypress ST W has a steel fork, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.
Wheels
The Cypress ST W 2012 bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Giant Cypress ST W is equipped with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
Cypress ST W comes in 3 sizes, that range from 151 cm – 179 cm (4.95 ft – 5.87 ft). In conclusion, you won’t have a problem finding one that suits you.
