Overview of components
Fork material

Wheels size
The XCAPE 2014 bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. 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
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The XCAPE has Rim brakes. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
Sizes
KHS XCAPE 2014 is available in one size only. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
