Wheels
The Cortina 2014 bike is equipped with wheels when leaving the factory. The 650b wheels are very similar to 700c, with a slight difference in diameter. However, if speed is what you’re after, 700c wheels are a better fit.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Cortina has Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
