Overview of components
Fork
The TOWN HYBRID SL 500 Trapeze comes factory-installed with the RockShox Paragon Gold RL fork. This has a travel range of 50mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Wheels
The TOWN HYBRID SL 500 Trapeze 2019 e-bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This e-bike has Hydraulic Rim brakes. These brakes are pretty rare, and you will find them on very few bike models. In short, you can look for a bike with disk or hydraulic disk brakes.
