The Speedster 10’s frame is made from Speedster Disc / 6061 D.Butted Alloy and is designed with endurance geometry. This enables longer rides with enhanced stability and comfort.

The Shimano BR-R7070 hydraulic disc brakes, fitted to both the front and rear, offer reliable braking performance in all conditions. The 160 mm Shimano SM-RT70 CL rotors ensure efficient heat dissipation and consistent braking power. The gear system consists of the Shimano 105 series, featuring an RD-R7000-GS rear derailleur and an FD-R7000 front derailleur, which together provide 22 gears. The Shimano ST-R7020 shift levers offer precise and smooth shifting performance.

The Speedster 10’s fork is a Speedster HMF Disc with an eccentric carbon steerer tube, which contributes to improved stiffness and weight reduction. The PRAXIS 86-0301 M24 BB86 bottom bracket and the PRAXIS ALBA M24 crankset with a 50/34T gear ratio are designed for efficiency and durability. The Shimano CS-R7000 cassette with 11–32T offers a wide range of gear ratios, ideal for various types of terrain.

The Syncros Creston 2.0 Compact handlebars, with a diameter of 31.8 mm, and the Syncros RR2.5 stem ensure a comfortable and ergonomic riding position. The Acros AIF-1133 headset completes the setup with high precision. The Syncros Race 24 Disc rims, fitted with Schwalbe Lugano tyres in size 700x32C, offer a good balance between speed and comfort.

The Formula Team II CL Disc hubs and the black 2 mm spokes contribute to the overall stability of the wheelset. The Syncros Tofino Regular 2.5 saddle and the Syncros RR2.5 seatpost, measuring 27.2/350 mm, provide additional comfort on long rides.

The head tube angle is 71 degrees and the seat tube angle is 75 degrees, resulting in a sporty riding position.
