SRAM's Red XPLR AXS handles shifting duties with a 13-speed 10-46T cassette, wireless electronic actuation, and a spider-based power meter integrated into the Red AXS crankset with a 40T chainring . The redesigned Red AXS calipers reduce brake effort by up to 80 percent compared to the previous generation, which matters on long gravel descents where hand fatigue compounds quickly. Note that the stock 40T chainring pairs with the 10-46T cassette for a wide gravel range — riders who race predominantly on faster, hard-packed courses may want to swap to a 42T or 44T ring to avoid spinning out on high-speed sections.

The Roval Terra CLX II wheelset uses 25mm internal width rims with 32mm depth, a Roval LF13 front hub with ceramic SINC bearings, a Roval LF14R2 rear hub with DT Swiss EXP internals and SRAM XDR freehub, and DT Swiss Aerolite spokes throughout — 21 on the front, 24 on the rear . The 25mm internal width supports the volume of the stock Pathfinder Pro tires and stays wide enough for tubeless setup with larger-volume rubber if riders want to run 45mm or wider casings.

The cockpit follows the build's weight-focused priorities. A Roval Terra carbon handlebar with 12 degrees of flare pairs with an S-Works SL alloy stem using titanium bolts. The Roval Alpinist carbon seatpost and S-Works Power saddle with Mirror 3D-printed padding complete the contact points, and a Specialized alloy seat binder with titanium bolt handles the seatpost interface. Supacaz Super Sticky Kush bar tape finishes the build. The whole package targets weight without giving up the fit adjustability that comes from separate bar and stem components rather than an integrated one-piece cockpit.
