Fork material
The fork on this bike is made out of carbon, so, it won’t add up to much weight to your bike. However, the price you have to pay for a carbon fork is considerably higher.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Émonda 650 bike is equipped with the 27.5″ aluminum model. 27.5″ wheels will reach higher speeds than smaller-sized wheels. However, these wheels have a slower top speed if you compare them to 29″ wheels.
