Palomar components
Fork material
Palomar has an aluminum fork, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels size
The wheels on Palomar are the 27.5″ aluminum type. The 27.5″ wheels are a great choice for smaller riders. However, these wheels have a slower top speed if you compare them to 29″ wheels.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. GT Palomar has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. These brakes are also very popular, and a lot cheaper than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
Sizes
Palomar comes in 5 sizes, that range from 156 cm – 195 cm (5.12 ft – 6.4 ft). In conclusion, it won’t take much to find one that’s right for you.
