Overview of components
Fork material
S420 has a steel fork, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels size
The wheels on S420 are the 700c aluminum type. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The S420 comes with Coaster brakes. These brakes are pretty efficient, and they’re not so pricey. However, if your chain falls off or snaps, your coaster brakes won’t function anymore.
