Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has a carbon one, so, it is super light and stiff. In conclusion, a carbon fork gives you great control when steering, and is also more forgiving.
Wheels
The Ion CX Pro 2012 bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Trek Ion CX Pro has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
