SRAM's Force AXS wireless groupset handles shifting duties with the consistency electronic systems have made routine. The build centers on a SRAM Force DUB power meter crankset—a spider-based unit that uses the same internals as the Quarq DFour DUB and measures total power from both legs. The 48/35-tooth chainrings pair with a 10-33t cassette, offering both a bigger top gear and a lower climbing gear than a 52/36t crankset with an 11-32t cassette. If you want on-bike power data without buying a separate meter, this crankset is where that capability is built into the price. The hydraulic disc brakes run 160mm rotors front and rear for stopping power that holds up regardless of weather or descent length.

The 2025 build rolls on the Roval Rapide CL II wheelset rather than the shallower C38. The front rim runs a 51mm depth and the rear a 60mm depth, both with a 21mm internal width, laced to DT Swiss 350 hubs with DT Swiss Revolution spokes. The split-depth approach chases aerodynamic efficiency at the rear while keeping the front composed when the wind shifts. Reviewers tested the bike over wet and windy days without concern about the deep rims' effect on handling. Tubeless-ready construction lets you run lower pressures once sealant is added.

The cockpit uses a Roval Rapide carbon handlebar paired with an alloy SL7 stem rather than a fully integrated bar-and-stem unit. The separate stem and aerodynamically shaped bar are easier and cheaper to adjust or swap, and come in a wider range of sizes than an integrated setup—useful for dialing in fit. Contact points reflect Specialized's Body Geometry research, and the D-shaped seatpost adds vertical compliance while a two-bolt clamp handles saddle angle.
