Somerby components
Fork material
The fork is made out of aluminum, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the e-bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Somerby model has 700c aluminum wheels. 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.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Somerby comes with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
This e-bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In short, make sure you double-check if it fits you.
