The saddle is a Selle Royal Nuvola Lady, mounted on an Oxygen Scorpo seatpost, ensuring comfort on longer rides. SKS mudguards protect against splashes and dirt, and a Pletscher Comp kickstand provides stability when parking the bike. In addition, the bike is fitted with a Racktime luggage rack, which offers versatile transport options.
