This bike is equiped with Front: 26 x 2.10" Kenda K-877 tires and Chun Nan UCP spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Alex Z-1000, 36-hole. Norco equiped this exact model with Chang Star V-Brake brakes, Shimano levers braking system and Front: Formula FM-31, Rear: Formula FM-31RQR hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Norco used Aluminum material for the frame. Aluminum high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Katmandu to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Aluminum threadless.
For the smoothest biking experience SR Suntour XCC-150PBG, 24/34/42 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to KMC Z50 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Norco, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano EF-29 EZ-Fire gear shift levers.
