Overview of components
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of aluminum, so there won’t be much extra weight added to the bike. However, they are not so stiff as carbon forks are.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Seeker 14 model has 14″ aluminum wheels. This wheel size is used on bike models like BMX, children, or folding bikes. In conclusion, they are great for flat ground or very easy trails.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Seeker 14 comes with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
