16 Kids Bike components
Fork material
The fork is made out of aluminum, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the 16 Kids Bike model has 12″ aluminum wheels. This wheel size is used on bike models like BMX, children, or folding bikes. In conclusion, you can use them better on-road, and less on technical terrain.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The 16 Kids Bike has Rim brakes. Rim brakes deliver an average performance overall. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
