Overview of components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has a carbon one, so, it’s a great addition to the bike’s value. However, carbon forks should be regularly inspected for damage because even the smallest crack could cause the fork to fall apart.
Wheels size
The wheels on X700 are the 700c aluminum type. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This bike 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.
