Overview of components

Fork material

Vita Elite has a carbon fork, so, its weight is considerably lighter than one made out of steel. However, they cost a bit more than steel forks.

Wheels

The Vita Elite 2010 bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.

Brakes

Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Specialized Vita Elite is equipped with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.

Sizes

This bike is available in 5 sizes. They vary from 156 cm – 195 cm (5.12 ft – 6.4 ft). In short, it won’t be difficult to find the right one for you.
