Weighing 22 kg, the bike is robust and stable.

Braking performance is provided by the Shimano BR-MT420 4-piston brakes, complemented by Shimano SM-RT30 CL 203mm front brake discs and Shimano RT-EM300 CL 203mm rear brake discs. Gear changes are handled by the SRAM SX Eagle 12-speed system, with the SRAM SX Eagle Single Click shifter enabling precise gear selection.

The Marzocchi Z2 Air fork with eMTB+ function has 140 mm of travel and offers three modes (Rail 3), mounted via a 15x110 mm QR axle and a tapered head tube. The FOX Float EVOL Performance Trunnion shock complements the suspension, also offering 140 mm of travel and three modes (Lockout, Trail, Descend).

The drivetrain is powered by the FSA CK-320 crankset, which is 165 mm long and features a 34-tooth chainring. The cassette consists of the SRAM PG1210 with a gear range of 11–50T. The handlebars are aluminium Syncros Hixon 2.0 Rise with a width of 760 mm and a rise of 20 mm.

The Syncros FL2.0 stem, made from 6061 aluminium, provides a stable connection to the handlebars. The bike is fitted with Syncros MD30 rims, which are tubeless-ready and fitted with Maxxis Rekon tyres in size 29x2.6". These tyres offer excellent grip and stability on a variety of surfaces.

The hubs are from Formula (FR: CL-811 / RR: CL-148S) and are also compatible with Boost standards. The stainless steel spokes contribute to the durability of the wheelsets. The Syncros ER2.5 saddle and the Syncros Duncan Dropper Post 2.5 seatpost, which offers varying drop heights depending on frame size (S: 100 mm, M: 125 mm, L: 150 mm, XL: 170 mm), provide additional comfort and adaptability.

The Bosch Performance CX motor assists up to a speed of 25 km/h (EU) or 20 mph (US). Power is supplied by a PowerTube battery with a capacity of 625 Wh, controlled via the Bosch Purion display.
