Overview of components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this e-bike has a steel one, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the e-bike.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Premiere Edition e-bike is equipped with the 700c aluminum model. 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
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Premiere Edition comes with Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
