Plasma Premium components
Fork material
Plasma Premium has a carbon fork, so, it is super light and stiff. In conclusion, a carbon fork gives you great control when steering, and is also more forgiving.
Wheels size
The Plasma Premium 2018 bike is equipped with 700c carbon wheels when leaving the factory. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
