Electric Motor System

The Mahle X30 e-drive system delivers just the right level of assistance - light, quiet, and so seamlessly integrated, it fades into the background. Designed for mixed-terrain exploration, it offers a natural ride feel, an impressive range of 90km off one charge, and low-maintenance performance. With a lighter weight and over-the-air software updates, it’s as easy to live with as it is to ride.

Shimano’s first and only 12-speed mechanical groupset is the latest addition to their premium road family. The 105 R7100 combines pure cycling with pure craftsmanship, delivering the wide gear range, hand-friendly ergonomics, and all-condition braking confidence you’ve always craved. Developed from Shimano’s Science of Speed philosophy, 105 raises accessible performance to a whole new level

Wheelset

Designed to ride smoother and faster on dirt, gravel, and road, you can ride it all with confident control with the lightweight, durable, and responsive Mavic Allroad wheels with integrated MAHLE X30 motor. Paired with 40mm Schwalbe G-One tyres, this versatile combination is equally at home on hidden dirt tracks or fast-paced road rides.

Handlebars

Ribble alloy bars are built for real-world riding, with a compact shape that makes it easy to move between tops, hoods and drops. The ergonomic profile helps reduce pressure and keeps things comfortable, mile after mile. Paired with a matching alloy stem and wrapped in soft bar tape, it’s a setup that feels right from the first pedal stroke—whether you’re heading out for an hour or all day.
