The handlebars are Oxygen Driver, 640 mm wide, combined with a matching Oxygen Driver stem and a STEVENS AH 1 1/8" headset. The rims are Oxygen COMP-D A19 (19 x 622) at both the front and rear, fitted with Schwalbe Smart Sam Performance tyres (42-622), which are known for their good traction and durability.

The hubs are Shimano HB-M3050 at the front and Shimano FH-M3050 at the rear, ensuring robust and reliable wheel bearings. The saddle is an Oxygen Lynx, mounted on an Oxygen Driver seatpost, which offers additional comfort. The model is rounded off by a chain guard, which protects the chain and makes maintenance easier.
