Overview of components
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of aluminum, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Allez Junior bike is equipped with the 27.5″ aluminum model. The 27.5″ wheels are a great choice for smaller riders. However, the 27.5″ wheels are less forgiving than the 29″ wheels.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Specialized Allez Junior is equipped with Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
