This bike is equiped with Front: 700 x 25c Moulton tires while the rims are manufactured by Sun Metal M-13L, 36-hole. Lightning equiped this exact model with Mathauser Hydraulic brakes, levers braking system and Campagnolo Athena cassette hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Lightning used 4130 chromoly material for the frame. Lightning welded aluminum high strength material is used on the handlebar of this F-40 to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Lightning oversize bonded aluminum.
For the smoothest biking experience Suntour XC Comp, 28/48/57 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to Sedis chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Lightning, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Grip Shift CX-DT gear shift levers.
