Overview of components
Fork
This e-bike has the SunTour NCX fork installed. The fork’s travel is 50mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Wheels
The wheels on TOWN HYBRID Exc 500 are the 700c aluminum type. 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 TOWN HYBRID Exc 500 comes with Hydraulic Rim brakes. They are a bit expensive, and don’t deliver such a great performance. In short, search for a bike that has hydraulic brakes, as they deliver way better performance.
