Wheels size
The wheels on ALITE 350 are the 26″ aluminum type. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes

Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
