Allez Jr. components
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of aluminum, so there won’t be much extra weight added to the bike. However, they are not so stiff as carbon forks are.
Wheels size
The wheels on Allez Jr. are the 27.5″ aluminum type. 27.5″ wheels will reach higher speeds than smaller-sized wheels. However, the 27.5″ wheels are less forgiving than the 29″ wheels.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Specialized Allez Jr. has Rim brakes installed. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
