Suspension is provided by the RockShox 35 Gold RL fork with DebonAir technology and 150 mm of travel, as well as the RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear shock. Both components are air-sprung and offer excellent damping performance on uneven terrain. The aluminium pedals come directly from Husqvarna and complement the robust Shimano FC-EM900 crankset.

The drivetrain is powered by a Shimano EP8 motor with an output of 250 W and a torque of 85 Nm. The integrated Core S3 battery has a capacity of 720 Wh, providing sufficient power for long rides. The Shimano SC-E7000 display allows you to control the motor and offers ANT and Bluetooth connectivity.

The wheels are fitted with Ryde Disc30 rims at the front and Ryde Disc35 rims at the rear, both of which are tubeless-ready and have eyelets. The Schwalbe Nobby Nic tyres ensure optimum grip on all surfaces. The hubs have been specially developed by Husqvarna and offer high stability thanks to their thru-axles.

The handlebars, stem and seatpost are also bespoke components from Husqvarna, designed for comfort and control. The handlebars are 780 mm wide with an 8-degree sweep and a 20 mm rise. The seatpost is a dropper post that can be lowered whilst riding to improve handling.
