This bike is equiped with 26 x 1.95" tires and Stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Aluminum, 36-hole. Ross equiped this exact model with Shimano Altus front/Sturmey Archer coaster rear brakes, Shimano Altus front levers braking system and Front: Shimano Altus, Rear: Sturmey Archer hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Ross used Chromoly material for the frame. Aluminum high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Minotaur to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Aluminum.
