The fork is a CUBE Cross Race Disc C:68X Technology with integrated cable routing and flat-mount disc mounts, which fits the frame perfectly and ensures optimum riding performance. The crankset consists of a SRAM Force D1 DUB carbon crankset with a 40T chainring, whilst the cassette is a SRAM Force XG-1270 with a 10–36T range. The drivetrain is also completed by SRAM Force D1 components.

The handlebar width varies between 400mm and 440mm depending on frame size, whilst the stem length ranges from 90mm to 120mm. The handlebar tape is ACID Bartape CX, which ensures good grip and comfort.

The headset is by ACROS and features integrated cable routing both at the top (1 1/2") and at the bottom (1 1/4"), which contributes to the bike’s clean, uncluttered look.
