The bike’s fork is the RS1 Disc Full Integrated Tapeder, made entirely from carbon and fitted with a 1.5-inch headset. This helps to reduce the overall weight whilst improving stiffness and control. The crankset is an FSA Gossamer with a 50/34 tooth ratio, whilst the cassette is a Shimano 105 with an 11/34 tooth ratio. The drivetrain is completed by the FSA TH-CN1102 system.

The handlebars are a BH Lite Compact model, which, together with the BH SL stem, ensures an ergonomic and comfortable riding position. The headset is an FSA ICR, which is seamlessly integrated into the overall design. The tyres are Hutchinson Nitro2 in size 700x28, fitted to the Slite Thru-axle wheelset.

The saddle is a San Marco Monza Start, mounted on a BH Lite seatpost with a diameter of 27.2 mm. The saddle clamp is integrated into the SL1, creating a clean and aerodynamic look. The frame’s geometry is defined by a reach of 386 mm and a stack of 583 mm. The seat tube length is 540 mm, which allows for a balanced riding position.
