Overview of components
Fork material

Wheels
The wheels on Sol Eclipse are the aluminum type. 650b wheels make a great choice if you want to sacrifice speed for comfort. However, if speed is what you’re after, 700c wheels are a better fit.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Blix Sol Eclipse has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. They deliver good performance and cost less than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
