Wheels
The wheels on A-Matrix 26 D are the 26″ aluminum type. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. 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 A-Matrix 26 D comes with Mechanical Disc brakes. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
