Fork material
Seek 0 has an aluminum fork, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Seek 0 model has 700c aluminum wheels. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
