Gates CDX Belt Drive System

It is powered by a Bosch PowerPack battery that mounts to the frame, providing the necessary range for consistent daily use in urban environments.

Shimano Nexus Internal Hub

Shifting is managed by a Shimano Nexus 7-speed internal gear hub, which protects the gears from rain, dirt, and road debris within the shell. This internal hub design allows you to shift gears while stationary at traffic lights, ensuring a smooth and easy start every time. It provides a wide gear range for varied urban terrain, supporting your fitness goals by allowing for efficient pedaling cadences on any gradient.

SR Suntour NEX Utility Fork

The front end provides 50mm of travel to isolate the rider from road vibrations and rough expansion joints found on city streets. This fork includes a preload adjuster that allows you to tune the suspension response based on your preferences or the utility cargo carried. It significantly increases rider comfort, ensuring that afternoon trips through the urban grid remain enjoyable for your upper body and joints.

High-Volume 50c Tires

The wheelset features double-wall rims paired with extra-wide 700x50c Bontrager H2 Comp tires for a massive air cushion. Having 50c tire volume significantly increases traction and comfort over rough pavement and city debris during active travel. Reflective strips on the sidewalls improve your visibility to motorists, ensuring that your morning commutes or evening fitness sessions are as safe as they are healthy.
