Overview of components
Fork material

Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the VFR 5 bike is equipped with the 700c aluminum model. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
