The brake system consists of SRAM S-900 Aero brakes at the front and rear with SRAM CenterLine X discs, which have a centre lock disc mount and rounded edges. Both brake discs have a diameter of 160 mm. The wireless SRAM eTap AXS system, consisting of wireless blips for the base handlebar mount, a BlipBox and eTap Clics for the boom mount, takes care of the shifting. The front derailleur is a braze-on version of the SRAM Force AXS D2. The crankset is also from SRAM Force AXS D2 and has a power meter, 48/35 teeth and a crank arm length of 172.5 mm.
