Fork material
The fork on this bike 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 size
The STARLITE 2021 bike is equipped with 20″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. This wheel size is used on bike models like BMX, children, or folding bikes. In conclusion, you can use them better on-road, and less on technical terrain.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The STARLITE has Coaster brakes. Coaster brakes are among the oldest brake types you can find on a bike. However, they have flaws, especially if the chain falls off.
