Overview of components
Fork material
The fork 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
The ATX Lite 2017 bike is equipped with aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. The 650b wheels are very similar to 700c, with a slight difference in diameter. However, if speed is what you’re after, 700c wheels are a better fit.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The ATX Lite has Mechanical Disc brakes. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
