Fork material
Zektor 2 DK has an aluminum fork, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Zektor 2 DK model has 700c aluminum wheels. 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.
