Overview of components

Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Suede W (Silver, Blue) bike is equipped with the 26″ aluminum model. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Suede W (Silver, Blue) comes with Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
