WESTWOOD components
Fork
The WESTWOOD comes factory-installed with the SunTour fork. This has a travel range of 80mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Wheels
The WESTWOOD 2020 bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The WESTWOOD has Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
KHS WESTWOOD 2020 is available in one size only. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
