Fork material

Wheels
When leaving the production line, the SCULTURA 100 JULIET model has 700c aluminum wheels. 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
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The SCULTURA 100 JULIET comes with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
