Overview of components
Fork

Wheels
When leaving the production line, the PhD model has 26″ aluminum wheels. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Trek PhD is equipped with Mechanical Disc brakes. They deliver good performance and cost less than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
Sizes
Trek PhD bike has 3 sizes, in the range of 158 cm – 187 cm (5.18 ft – 6.14 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
