Gear shifting is taken care of via SRAM's Red components which deliver quick, precise shifting at all times. The SRAM S950 compact chainset matched to a cassette with a 12-26T ratio gives you a wide choice of gear's, especially when you feel the need for speed, or when the going gets tough up the hills. Mavic Ksyrium Equipe wheels wrapped with Continental Grand Prix tyres are the wheelset of choice, whilst the Fi:zik Aliante Delta saddle finishes the bike of nicely. The result is a super stiff, but compliant, lightweight bike that handles beautifully and translates every effort into forward motion.
