Overview of components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has a steel one, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels size
The wheels on URBAN X are the 700c aluminum type. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. 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 URBAN X has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, with hydraulic disk brakes, you have the ultimate braking power!
Sizes
KHS URBAN X 2014 is available in one size only. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
