Overview of components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has a steel one, which tends to be more flexible than carbon forks in general. However, a carbon fork is considerably lighter.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the SMOOTHIE 3-Speed bike is equipped with the 26″ aluminum model. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The SMOOTHIE 3-Speed has Coaster brakes. Coaster brakes are among the oldest brake types you can find on a bike. However, if your chain falls off or snaps, your coaster brakes won’t function anymore.
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.
