: Tektro's Mechanical Disc brakes handle the braking on the Cordis CX 1 (2019). These brakes were powerful and balanced to use on both wet and dry roads. These brakes are good for rough surfaces as well.The Zoom Alloy 66mm handlebar was wide and with a slight raise from the middle which made for a perfect riding posture. The grips on the handlebar didn’t have a palm support and the rider might require gloves for long distance rides.

: The 7x38C Kenda Eurotek Hybrid tires gave great rolling assistance on flat tarmacs and had good treads for safe riding on bad roads. The double wall Alloy rims are capable of taking the weight of the rider plus some luggage in case of touring without affecting its balance and strength. The Velo Saddle is designed for comfort. It is wide and well cushioned to keep the rider soreness free while on the saddle for long hours.
