Overview of components
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the Fuel 80 bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike has 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.
Sizes
Fuel 80 comes in 4 sizes, that range from 153 cm – 196 cm (5.02 ft – 6.43 ft). In conclusion, it won’t take much to find one that’s right for you.
