The fork on this bike is made out of steel, which tends to be more flexible than carbon forks in general. However, a carbon fork is considerably lighter.
Wheels
As for the wheels, Liv Simple Three W 2016, has a 26″ aluminum model. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Simple Three W comes with Coaster brakes. Coaster brakes are among the oldest brake types you can find on a bike. However, they have flaws, especially if the chain falls off.
