Overview of components
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of carbon, so, it’s a great addition to the bike’s value. However, carbon forks should be regularly inspected for damage because even the smallest crack could cause the fork to fall apart.
Wheels size

Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Felt ZW100 has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
