For the brakes, Kettler relies on the tried-and-tested SHIMANO BR-MT200 technology. Both the front and rear brakes are fitted with 2-piston calipers, ensuring reliable braking performance. The SHIMANO BL-MT201 brake levers allow for precise control of braking force. The front brake disc measures 180 mm and the rear 160 mm; both are SHIMANO SM-RT10 models.

The bike features a SHIMANO SL-C6000-8 shifter, which, in combination with the SHIMANO SM-8S31 19-tooth sprocket and the KMC drivetrain, enables smooth shifting through the 8 gears. The fork is an SR SUNTOUR NEX-DS 700C with 63 mm of travel, which effectively absorbs bumps in the road.

Lighting is provided by a FUXON FS-50 front light with 50 lux and a FUXON R-20 rear light, both of which are powered by a dynamo hub. This ensures constant and reliable lighting without the need to change batteries.

The pedals are Wellgo C-157, the bottom bracket is an FSA BB-7420 and the crankset is from SR SUNTOUR. The KALLOY HB-RB12L-ENM handlebars and Velo VLG-1115AD2 grips offer a comfortable ride. The stem is a KALLOY AS-ZGD2, and the headset is an FSA NO. 57B, with dimensions of 1 1/8 inches to 1.5 inches.

The tyres are SCHWALBE Citizen K-Guard (47-622), which are renowned for their durability and good grip. The rims are by Kettler and are of high quality at both the front and rear. The front hub is a SHIMANO DH-3D37NT and the rear hub is a SHIMANO SG-C6001-8D.

The SELLE ROYAL Freeway saddle, together with the KALLOY SP-F102 seatpost (31.6 x 350 mm), ensures a high level of comfort. The saddle is secured using a seat clamp with a diameter of 35 mm. SKS PET A53 mudguards and a Horn Catena chain guard provide additional protection against dirt and the elements.

A Pletscher kickstand ensures the bike stands securely when not in use. The MonkeyLoad Carrier luggage rack offers ample space for luggage and shopping and rounds off the TRAVELLER 2.0 8G FL’s specification. Overall, this model is a reliable companion for a wide variety of rides and uses.
