Overview of components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has a carbon one, so, it’s a great addition to the bike’s value. However, carbon forks should be regularly inspected for damage because even the smallest crack could cause the fork to fall apart.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Equinox TTX 9.9 SSL model has 700c carbon wheels. 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
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Trek Equinox TTX 9.9 SSL has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
Sizes
Equinox TTX 9.9 SSL comes in 3 sizes, that range from 158 cm – 187 cm (5.18 ft – 6.14 ft). In short, it won’t be difficult to find the right one for you.
