Shadow 16″ components
Fork material
The fork is made out of aluminum, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels size
The wheels on Shadow 16″ are the 16″ aluminum type. This wheel size is used on bike models like BMX, children, or folding bikes. In conclusion, you can use them better on-road, and less on technical terrain.
Brakes

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.
