Overview of components
Fork material
The fork is made out of steel, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Zelda 3i model has 26″ aluminum wheels. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. However, you will need increased suspension than in the case of 29″ wheels.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Trek Zelda 3i is equipped with Coaster brakes. Coaster brakes are among the oldest brake types you can find on a bike. However, they have flaws, especially if the chain falls off.
Sizes
Trek Zelda 3i 2020 is available in one size only. In short, make sure you double-check if it fits you.
