The bike is fitted with Schwalbe Big Apple tyres, which are renowned for their puncture resistance and comfort. The Selle Royal LookIn Relaxed saddle and Ergon GP1 grips offer additional comfort for longer rides. The integrated i-Rack luggage rack with spring-loaded flap is a practical feature for carrying extra items. Other useful features include the bike’s own two-leg kickstand and the ABUS Pro Shield 5850 lock, which, together with the key-operated battery lock, ensures security.
