Overview of components
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Advance bike is equipped with the 26″ aluminum model. The 26″ wheels are lighter than the 27.5 or 29″ wheels. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Advance has Mechanical Disc brakes. These brakes are also very popular, and a lot cheaper than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
Sizes
This bike is available in 5 sizes. They vary from 156 cm – 195 cm (5.12 ft – 6.4 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
