Fork material
VFR 4 has a steel fork, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.
Wheels
As for the wheels, Norco VFR 4 2016, has a 700c aluminum model. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Norco VFR 4 has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
