Fork
The SunTour NEX is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 63mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Wheels size
As for the wheels, Merida CROSSWAY 20-V LADY 2017, has a 700c aluminum model. 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 CROSSWAY 20-V LADY has Rim brakes. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
