It is equipped with a SRAM Rival AXS 12-speed wireless groupset that ensures efficient and flawless gear shifting with solid performance on mixed dirt and asphalt terrain. Wireless technology not only improves performance but also reduces maintenance, ensuring optimal long-term operation.

Complementing this bike's ultra-light design, the Fazua Ride 50 Trail motor delivers smooth, powerful assist. In addition, it offers the possibility of replacing the electrical system with a Fazua Downtube cover (optional), to reduce the total weight of the bike to 10.6 kg, converting it to a non-electric bike.
