The drivetrain is assisted by the Active GEN3 motor, which delivers 250 watts of power and 40 Nm of torque. The Bosch Standard battery, with a capacity of 400 Wh, provides the necessary power, whilst the Bosch Purion display clearly shows all the key information.

The bike is fitted with an FSA CK-220 crankset and a Shimano 18T sprocket. The KMC Z610 chain ensures a reliable drivetrain. The SUPERO Optima Safe tyres, size 50-622, combined with the DBM-2 rims, offer good road holding. The DDK Foaming saddle and the Kalloy SP-F102 seatpost provide additional comfort.

Practical features such as the i-Rack luggage rack with battery holder and spring-loaded flap, the Standwell rear stand and the AXA battery lock round off the specification.
