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
The wheels on Mystic 12 are the 12″ aluminum type. This wheel size is used on bike models like BMX, children, or folding bikes. In conclusion, you can use them better on-road, and less on technical terrain.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Trek Mystic 12 has Coaster brakes installed. These brakes are pretty efficient, and they’re not so pricey. However, if your chain falls off or snaps, your coaster brakes won’t function anymore.
