L500+ components
Wheels size
The L500+ 2010 bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Trek L500+ is equipped with Hydraulic Rim brakes. These brakes are pretty rare, and you will find them on very few bike models. In short, you can look for a bike with disk or hydraulic disk brakes.
