The frame is sturdy, with geometry similar to a mountain bike, but shaped for a more upright riding position than a mountain bike - this places less strain on the arms and keeps better visibility in traffic. It is designed for longer rides and is often suited for mounting various accessories such as mudguards and racks.
The frame material is aluminium - size 17 (44cm), recommended for riders 158-172cm tall. Aluminium is the most widely used frame material: lighter than steel and stronger than carbon fibre, it is used in the production of many types of bicycles and offers the best price-to-weight ratio.
Plastic mudguards are often fitted to keep the overall bike weight low while still allowing an extra rack to be attached for carrying items.
The brakes are V-brakes - simple to replace, light and inexpensive, though choosing brake pads suited to the conditions of use can achieve high efficiency. The bike comes with SHIMANO ST-EF51-7 brake levers and SHIMANO ST-EF5102 shifters, paired with a SHIMANO Tourney RD-ARDTY300D rear derailleur and SHIMANO FD-TZ500DSDM6 front derailleur, giving an external, 21-speed gear system. The front fork is an SF11-M3010-A, 26'' white, without a lockout function.
