Fuse Grom 20 components
Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of steel, which tends to be more flexible than carbon forks in general. However, a carbon fork is considerably lighter.

Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Fuse Grom 20 comes with Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
