Alibi Step-Through components
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of aluminum, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Alibi Step-Through model has 700c aluminum wheels. 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.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Alibi Step-Through comes with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
Sizes
Specialized Alibi Step-Through bike has 3 sizes, in the range of 158 cm – 187 cm (5.18 ft – 6.14 ft). In conclusion, you won’t have a problem finding one that suits you.
