The bike’s frame is made from SQUARE Urban AL, a lightweight yet sturdy aluminium frame that supports a maximum load of up to 140 kg. The bike’s total weight is just 14 kg, making it an easy-to-handle and manoeuvrable companion in urban environments.

Braking performance is provided by the Shimano BR-M315 2/2-piston 160 mm disc brakes, which, in combination with the Shimano BL-M315 brake levers and the Shimano SM-RT10 160 mm front brake disc, provide reliable and precise braking power. The Shimano Alfine SL-S700 gear lever ensures smooth and efficient gear-changing performance.

The bike is fitted with a GHOST AL rigid fork, which ensures direct and precise steering. Lighting is provided by the Supernova E3 Pure3 front light and the Supernova Tail Light rear light, which ensure optimum visibility in the dark and in low-light conditions.

The VP 836 pedals and the Thun Jive bottom bracket complement the Gates Carbon Drive S150 crankset with a 46T chainring and the Gates Carbon Drive Polymer Ceramic sprocket with 24 teeth. Power is transmitted via the low-maintenance Gates Carbon Drive belt, which ensures quiet and clean power transfer.

The Satori Deviant Bow handlebars, with a width of 700 mm and a rise of 12 mm, together with the Ergon GP10 grips, offer a comfortable and ergonomic hand position. The GHOST SQUARE stem, with a diameter of 31.8 mm, ensures a stable connection between the handlebars and the frame.

The Rodi Excalibur XC rims, measuring 622x19 mm with 32 spokes, and the Continental Contact Speed tyres in size 37-622 ensure good traction and riding stability. The front hub is the KT Dynamo JH-KC6F QR, whilst the rear hub is the Shimano Alfine SG-S7001-11 11-speed hub, guaranteeing reliable performance.

The Justek 2059 DRN saddle, combined with the Satori HL Comet seatpost (31.6 mm) and the GHOST MTB seat clamp (34.9 mm), offers a high level of comfort. The GHOST RG40 mudguards protect against splashes and dirt, whilst the GHOST SQUARE Urban Carrier provides additional storage space for carrying luggage.
