Overview of components
Fork material
The fork is made out of aluminum, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the e-bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Urbanico I-8 e-bike is equipped with the 700c aluminum model. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Hercules Urbanico I-8 is equipped with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
Dropper post
A dropper post is included with the Urbanico I-8. If used correctly, a dropper post gives you more faith, maneuverability, and greater control over your bike.
