Wheels
The T700+ Midstep BLX 2014 bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. 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 T700+ Midstep BLX 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.
