Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Spire Carbon GX bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. These wheels are more forgiving when you go over roots, rocks, bumps, or other obstacles you encounter on your ride. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
