Jet 12 components

Fork material

The fork on this bike is made out of steel, which tends to be more flexible than carbon forks in general. However, a carbon fork is considerably lighter.

Wheels

When leaving the production line, the Jet 12 model has 12″ aluminum wheels. This wheel size is used on bike models like BMX, children, or folding bikes. In conclusion, they are great for flat ground or very easy trails.

Brakes

Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Trek Jet 12 is equipped with Rim brakes. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
