Fork
This bike has the RST fork installed. The fork’s travel is 50mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Wheels
The Tiburon Stepthru 2009 bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, these wheels don’t perform so well when passing over obstacles.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Trek Tiburon Stepthru has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
Sizes
This bike is available in 3 sizes. They vary from 151 cm – 179 cm (4.95 ft – 5.87 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
