The front derailleur is a Shimano Deore Trekking FD-T6000-L3L, which further enhances shifting performance.

The SR Suntour NCX-D Air LO fork, with 63 mm of travel, ensures comfort on uneven terrain. Optimal lighting is provided by the B+M Eyc T Senso+ front light (50 lux) and the Shine Evo rear light, both powered by a Shutter Precision PL-8 dynamo.

The bike is fitted with ATB Alu Pro Reflex pedals and a BSA 73 mm bottom bracket. The crankset consists of a Shimano FC-T551 with 48-36-26 teeth, whilst the cassette is a Shimano CS-HG500 with 10-speed gearing. The handlebars and stem are from the Oxygen Scorpo series, with the handlebars measuring 630 mm in width. The headset is a STEVENS AH Taper 1 1/8"-1 1/2".

The Oxygen PRO-D A19 rims (19 x 622) are fitted with Schwalbe Marathon Racer tyres (40-622), which ensure good road holding and durability. The hubs are Shutter Precision PL-8 and Shimano Deore XT. The Selle Royal Freccia Lady saddle offers a high level of comfort, supported by an Oxygen Scorpo seatpost.
