Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Edge 24 bike is equipped with the 24″ aluminum model. 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
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Rocky Mountain Edge 24 is equipped 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.
