The drivetrain consists of the Shimano Dura Ace Di2 RD-R9250-D, an electronic 12-speed drivetrain, which is complemented by the Shimano Dura Ace Di2 FD-R9250-F front derailleur. This combination offers fast and smooth gear shifting performance.

The bike's fork, also made from Litening C:68X® Air, has integrated cable routing and flat mount disc mounts. The bottom bracket is a Shimano SM-BB71-41B with 86mm press fit, which ensures efficient power transmission in conjunction with the Shimano Dura Ace FC-R9200-P crankset with power meter and Hollowtech II technology as well as a 52x36T gear ratio. The sprocket is a Shimano Dura Ace CS-R9200 with a gradation of 11-30T, while the drive is provided by the Shimano CN-M9100 chain.

The ACID Bartape RD provides a comfortable and secure grip on the handlebars, while the ACROS headset enables precise steering. The wheelset consists of Newmen Advanced SL R.50 CS Streem with Aero Carbon spokes, which contributes to the aerodynamic efficiency of the bike. The tyres are Conti Grand Prix 5000 TT in size 25-622 at the front and 28-622 at the rear, which offers an optimum balance between speed and comfort.

The Natural Fit Nuance SLT Road Carbon saddle together with the Litening C:68X® Aero seatpost with Comfort Flex technology ensures a comfortable riding position even on long distances. The seat clamp is fully integrated and also comes from Cube.
