Overview of components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has a steel one, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the bike.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Mystic 12 model has 12″ aluminum wheels. 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. Coaster brakes are among the oldest brake types you can find on a bike. However, if your chain falls off or snaps, your coaster brakes won’t function anymore.
