Opie 24 components
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Opie 24 bike is equipped with the 24″ aluminum model. The 24″ wheels are a good fit for folding bikes, BMX, or children bikes. In conclusion, you can use them better on-road, and less on technical terrain.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Opie 24 has Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
