Overview of components
Fork material
FX+ has an aluminum fork, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the FX+ bike is equipped with the 700c aluminum model. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. 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 FX+ has Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
