Fork
The TOWN HYBRID Pro RT 500 comes factory-installed with the SunTour NCX fork. This has a travel range of 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 size
When leaving the production line, the TOWN HYBRID Pro RT 500 model has 700c aluminum wheels. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The TOWN HYBRID Pro RT 500 has Coaster brakes. Coaster brakes are among the oldest brake types you can find on a bike. However, if your chain falls off or snaps, your coaster brakes won’t function anymore.
