Both the front and rear brakes are fitted with Tektro 885AL V-brakes, whilst the brake levers are from Shimano (ST-EF41), ensuring reliable braking performance.

The bike’s fork is an HL 187 AMS with 60 mm of travel, which contributes to a comfortable ride on a variety of surfaces. Safety on the road is ensured by the Matrix Sport Eco LED front light with 20 LUX and the Matrix Z-Fire Mini rear light.

The crankset is a Shimano FC-TY301 with 42x34x24 chainrings and a crank length of 170 mm. The cassette is a Shimano CS-HG200-7 with 12–32 teeth, which, in combination with the KMC Z7 drivetrain, ensures smooth power transfer.

The handlebars, a Matrix MTB-AL-312, are 640 mm wide, with a 9-degree back sweep and a 12 mm rise. The stem is also from Matrix (HL TDS-C301) and has a length of 75 mm with a 6-degree angle. The headsets are semi-integrated (Matrix H115M) and contribute to the stability of the handling.

The rims are Mach 1 ER-10 with 32 holes at both the front and rear, whilst the tyres are Matrix VRB-227. The front hub is fitted with a Shimano hub dynamo (ADHC30003) and the rear hub with a Shimano FH-TX5007-QR quick-release axle. The 2 mm diameter stainless steel spokes complete the wheelset.

The saddle is a Selle Royal Shadow 8016, mounted on a Matrix SP-255 seatpost with a diameter of 27.2 mm and a length of 350 mm. Mudguards from SKS Velo provide additional protection against dirt and water, whilst the Atran Velo Parko stand ensures the bike stands securely.

The bike’s geometry offers a reach of 413 mm and a stack of 629 mm. The seat tube length is 500 mm, the top tube length 618 mm, and both the head tube angle and the seat tube angle are 72 degrees.
