Jet 16 components
Fork material
Jet 16 has a steel fork, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Jet 16 model has 16″ 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
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Trek Jet 16 has Rim brakes installed. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
