Overview of components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has a steel one, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels size
The wheels on City Glide are the 24″ aluminum type. This wheel size is used on bike models like BMX, children, or folding bikes. In conclusion, they are great for flat ground or very easy trails.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The City Glide has Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
