Wheels size

Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Aspect 980 comes with Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
