Overview of components

Fork material

When it comes to the fork, this bike has a carbon one, so, it won’t add up to much weight to your bike. However, the price you have to pay for a carbon fork is considerably higher.

Wheels size

The Axial wls Race 2016 bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.

Brakes

When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Axial wls Race has 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.

Sizes

This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In short, make sure you double-check if it fits you.
