Frame

6061 T6 aluminum frame for lightness, dynamism and sturdiness.
A simple lever-operated side-folding system takes up very little space: at home, in the office, in the trunk of a car, camper van... your bike will be forgotten.
A quick-locking system on the frame and stem keeps the bike folded, making it easy to handle and transport.
To improve stability when folded, the frame is equipped with a bike rest under the base.

Fork

Hi-Ten steel fork for added strength.

Brakes

V-brakes and steel calipers ensure efficient, progressive braking.

Handlebars/stem/steering

Semi-raised aluminium handlebars with a rise of 60 mm to adjust the riding position to your body type and improve the bike's manoeuvrability.
Handlebar width: 560 mm.
Fixed aluminium stem with quick-lock for greater rigidity than a height-adjustable stem.
Distance from saddle to handlebars: 540 mm. Distance from bottom bracket to saddle: 480 mm to 780 m

Saddle/saddle post

- A new seatpost clamp has been designed to improve clamping force.
It's also easier to handle thanks to its ergonomic shape.
- Anti-theft, anti-rotation 31.6-diameter aluminum seatpost mm.
- Comfortable, seamless foam saddle to prevent water ingress in wet weather.

Wheels

20-inch wheels, single rims and aluminum walls.

Tires

Tires with anti-puncture reinforcement.

To minimize the risk of punctures and increase bike performance, it is necessary to inflate your tires to between 3.5 bar and 4.5 bar.

Once the pedals are folded and the stem folded down, the bike can be stored along a wall with a reduced footprint (26 cm wide).
