Fork material
The fork is made out of aluminum, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels size
The 16 X1 2023 bike is equipped with 16″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. This wheel size is used on bike models like BMX, children, or folding bikes. In conclusion, you can use them better on-road, and less on technical terrain.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The 16 X1 comes with Mechanical Disc brakes. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
