Jet 16 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 size

When it comes to wheels, the Jet 16 bike is equipped with the 16″ aluminum model. 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 16 is equipped with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
