Overview of components
Fork material
Alight City has an aluminum fork, so there won’t be much extra weight added to the bike. However, they are not so stiff as carbon forks are.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Alight City model has 700c aluminum wheels. 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
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Liv Alight City has Rim brakes installed. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
There are 4 sizes available for this model. Rider height can be anywhere between 151 cm – 184 cm (4.95 ft – 6.04 ft). In conclusion, you won’t have a problem finding one that suits you.
