Overview of components
Fork material
IMPRESSION AX DISC has a steel fork, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels
The IMPRESSION AX DISC 2021 bike is equipped with aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. 650b wheels make a great choice if you want to sacrifice speed for comfort. However, they don’t perform so well when you go over bumps and obstacles.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The IMPRESSION AX DISC comes with Mechanical Disc brakes. They deliver good performance and cost less than hydraulic disk brakes. However, with hydraulic disk brakes, you have the ultimate braking power!
