The bike is fitted with a Shimano Alfine SL-S503 8-speed Rapidfire Plus shifter, which enables precise and reliable gear changes.

The bike is equipped with a BGM Trekking rigid aluminium fork, which ensures stability and steering precision. The lighting comprises a B&M Myc N Plus front light with a 50 lux LED and parking light function, as well as a B&M Toplight 2 C Plus rear light, also with an LED and parking light.

Additional comfort is provided by the aluminium trekking pedals and the Syncros Capilano trekking saddle with memory foam. Power is transmitted via a Gates CDN Carbon Drive Belt System with Centre-Track technology, complemented by a Gates FC-S150 crankset with 46 teeth and a Gates CDN sprocket with 22 teeth. The bottom bracket is a sealed cartridge bearing, specifically designed for belt drives.

The handlebars are BGM Pro Riser Bars with a 15° backsweep, whilst the grips are Ergon GP10s. The stem is a BGM Pro multi-position stem with an angle of 10°/25° and a clamp diameter of 31.8 mm. The headset is a semi-integrated BGM Comp A-Headset with a size of 1 1/8".

The rims are BGM Pro X15 Disc rims with 32 spokes, made from stainless steel and painted black. The tyres are Schwalbe Marathon Almotion with Raceguard and reflective strips, size 50-622. The hubs consist of a Shimano Dynamo Hub DH-3D37 at the front and a Shimano Nexus SG-C6001-8 freehub at the rear, both with Centre Lock disc mounts and quick-release mechanisms.

Additional features include SKS mudguards with stainless steel struts, an SKS Chainblade chain guard, an Atran kickstand and a Racktime/BGM Trekking Pro luggage rack with the Snapit 2.0 system and integrated mudguard mounts.
