Simple Single components
Fork material
The fork is made out of steel, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Simple Single model has 26″ aluminum wheels. The 26″ wheels are lighter than the 27.5 or 29″ wheels. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Giant Simple Single has Coaster brakes installed. Coaster brakes are among the oldest brake types you can find on a bike. However, they have flaws, especially if the chain falls off.
