The bike’s drivetrain consists of a Shimano XT 8100 12-speed groupset, combined with a Shimano Deore 6100 shifter. There is no front derailleur, which reduces weight and simplifies maintenance. The crankset is a Shimano MT510 with a length of 175 mm, and the cassette is a Shimano Deore 6100 with a 10/51 gear ratio.

Riding comfort and control are ensured by the Fox 32 Rhythm fork with 100 mm of travel and the Fox DPS Evol Performance shock, also with 100 mm of travel. Both components are designed to deliver outstanding performance even on challenging terrain.

The bottom bracket is from Shimano, whilst the handlebars are BH LITE Flat with a width of 780 mm. The grips are BH SL Lock On, which provide a secure grip. The stem is a BH SL, 80 mm long with a diameter of 31.8 mm and an angle of +/-6º.

The steering system comprises an Acros ICR headset with a 160° lockout, which provides additional safety. The rims are Race Face Aeffect TLR, 27 mm wide with 32 spokes, made from Inox 2.1. The tyres are Maxxis Ardent EXO 2.25 at the front and Maxxis Ikon EXO 2.25 at the rear, ensuring good grip and stability.

The hubs are a Shimano MT400 at the front and a Shimano MT410 at the rear, guaranteeing reliable and long-lasting performance. The saddle is a Prologo Nago RS, mounted on a BH LITE seatpost with a diameter of 31.6 mm and a length of 420 mm. The seatpost clamp is a BH EVO with a diameter of 34.9 mm.

The bike’s geometry is also well thought out: the reach is 456 mm, the stack is 595 mm and the seat tube length is 480 mm. These dimensions ensure a balanced riding position that offers both comfort and control.
