Overview of components
Fork material
The fork is made out of aluminum, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Rove AL 650 model has aluminum wheels. 650b wheels make a great choice if you want to sacrifice speed for comfort. However, if you want higher speeds, you should look for a bike with 700c wheels.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Rove AL 650 comes with Mechanical Disc brakes. These brakes are also very popular, and a lot cheaper than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
