The Shimano HG200 cassette with a gear ratio of 12-32T and the S52 8-speed drivetrain offer a wide range of gears for various types of terrain. The AL-078 alloy handlebars, with a width of 600 mm and a rise of 45 mm, together with the Herrmans Oxy DD29BL grips, ensure a comfortable riding position. The adjustable TAS822 stem allows for individual adjustment of the handlebar height.

The bike is fitted with Lapierre Double Wall rims and Schwalbe Delta Cruiser tyres in size 700x38c, which ensure good road holding and puncture protection. The hubs – a Panasonic NRH003 dynamo at the front and a KT K68-RBK 6-bolt disc hub at the rear – offer reliability and functionality.

The Selle Royal Wave Lady saddle with Royal Gel provides extra comfort on longer rides, supported by an SP-C208 alloy seatpost with a diameter of 27.2 mm and a length of 350 mm.
