Overview of components

Fork material

Classic Steel Women’s has a steel fork, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.

Wheels

The Classic Steel Women’s 2012 bike is equipped with 26″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. The 26″ wheels are lighter than the 27.5 or 29″ wheels. 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 Classic Steel Women’s has Coaster brakes. Coaster brakes are among the oldest brake types you can find on a bike. However, if your chain falls off or snaps, your coaster brakes won’t function anymore.
