Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has a titanium one, so it’s a bit thicker than a carbon or steel fork would be.
Wheels size
The wheels on S6L-X 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
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Brompton S6L-X is equipped with 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.
