The handlebars and stem are from ZZYZX, with the ZZYZX SL Alloy Handlebar and the SM26020 ZZYZX SL Alloy Stem ensuring comfortable and stable handling. The ZZYZX Cross Attack 29 Boost rims at the front and rear contribute to the bike’s stability and reliability. The Innova IA-1130 tyres offer good grip and traction on a variety of surfaces.

Rider comfort is ensured by the Selle Italia X-Base saddle, which is mounted on a ZZYZX SL Alloy seatpost. This combination guarantees a comfortable riding position even on longer rides.
