Overview of components
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of carbon, so, it is super light and stiff. In conclusion, a carbon fork gives you great control when steering, and is also more forgiving.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the B16 model has aluminum wheels. The 650c wheels are smaller in diameter than 700c. However, they are a little lighter than 700c wheels.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The B16 comes with 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.
