Overview of components
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of steel, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels
The Uptown 8 Low-Step 2012 bike is equipped with 26″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Breezer Uptown 8 Low-Step is equipped with Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
Breezer Uptown 8 Low-Step bike has 4 sizes, in the range of 151 cm – 184 cm (4.95 ft – 6.04 ft). In short, it won’t be difficult to find the right one for you.
