Overview of components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has an aluminum one, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels
The wheels on X700 BLX are the 700c type. 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 X700 BLX has 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.
