Wheels
The TM500+ Lowstep BLX 2016 bike is equipped with 700c wheels when leaving the factory. These wheels are the most used kind for road bikes in general. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The TM500+ Lowstep BLX has Hydraulic Rim brakes. They are a bit expensive, and don’t deliver such a great performance. In short, search for a bike that has hydraulic brakes, as they deliver way better performance.
