Roll Elite components
Fork material
The fork 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 Roll Elite bike is equipped with the aluminum model. After 700c wheels, 650b is the second most popular choice for road bikes. However, they don’t perform so well when you go over bumps and obstacles.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Roll Elite has Mechanical Disc brakes. These brakes are also very popular, and a lot cheaper than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
Sizes
Specialized Roll Elite 2016 is available in one size only. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
