In terms of brakes, the Intero I-F5 is fitted with Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, with a diameter of 180 mm at the front and 160 mm at the rear.

Power is delivered via the Gates CDX system with a 28T sprocket, whilst the motor – a GX Ultimate Pro FIT with 250 watts and 95 Nm of torque – provides powerful assistance. The FIT Intube battery, with a capacity of 630 Wh, offers an impressive range, which can be monitored via the compact FIT display.
The bike is fitted with Schwalbe Energizer Active Plus tyres, which offer additional puncture protection thanks to GreenGuard technology. Comfort is enhanced by the Selle Bassano Volare Icon XL saddle and a Kalloy SP-383 seatpost with 45 mm of travel. Other practical features include the i-Rack system luggage rack with a spring-loaded flap, a Pletscher Comp Flex 40 kickstand and an ABUS IT1 battery lock with an XPlus cylinder for enhanced security.
