Fazua Ride 60 The lightweight 60Nm Fazua Ride60 drive unit weighs 4.3lb/1.96kg. The minimal drag and power to weight ratio provide the magic when not riding with power. As you begin to ride beyond the speed cutoff you're not penalized when continuing to push beyond the assistance like that of traditional eMTBs. The 430Wh battery, 60Nm torque, 250Wh continuous power, 450Wh peak power, and overall bike weight work harmoniously together. This all equates to an experience that exceeds what you might expect from its numbers. -

Brake Levers:
SRAM Maven Bronze
More
Brake Levers
SRAM Maven Bronze SRAM Maven Bronze features monstrous 18 and 19.5mm pistons driving 50% more power than Code. But best-in-class power means nothing unless you’re able to harness it. The Maven Bronze lever body houses Swinglink, which translates rider input for progressive power throughout the lever pull, maintaining SRAM’s signature ride feel. And because of a stiff 4-bolt caliper that sheds an incredible amount of heat, that feel remains consistent, so the last corner feels like the first corner. Maven Bronze features a Dark Polar Anodized finish, and tool-free Reach Adjust. - Brake Calipers: SRAM Maven Bronze
- Rotors: Avid Centerline, 200mm
- Headset: Cane Creek 50 IS Integrated Headset
