Overview of components
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of steel, which tends to be more flexible than carbon forks in general. However, a carbon fork is considerably lighter.
Wheels
As for the wheels, KHS GRIT 55 2020, has a 700c aluminum model. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. KHS GRIT 55 has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
Sizes
KHS GRIT 55 2020 is available in one size only. In short, make sure you double-check if it fits you.
