Adaptable riding styles, with flip-flop rear hub

Flip-flop rear hub allows the rear wheel to be mounted for either fixed-gear riding or single-speed freewheel. Swapping between modes requires wheel reversal rather than changing drivetrain components.

Switch between a locked-gear feel and a freewheeling single speed, useful for flat commutes and occasional softer terrain.

Stable wheel performance, with 43mm double-walled aluminium rims

Double-walled aluminium rims increase lateral stiffness and distribute load across two rim walls, improving resistance to dents and maintaining trueness under repeated impacts.

Wheels stay true longer under city potholes and kerbs, reducing workshop visits and improving ride confidence.

Confident stopping power, with FabricBike by Promax brake set

Promax brake components are matched to the frame geometry and wheel profile to deliver consistent lever feel and braking force under normal urban conditions.

Reliable braking gives precise control in traffic and wet conditions, helping riders feel safer on busy streets.
