Overview of components
Fork material
Beat SL 20” has an aluminum fork, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Rear Shock
Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. In short, a full-suspension bike will give you the smoothest ride possible.
Wheels size
The wheels on Beat SL 20” are the 20″ aluminum type. This wheel size is used on bike models like BMX, children, or folding bikes. In conclusion, you can use them better on-road, and less on technical terrain.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Stevens Beat SL 20” 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.
