To guarantee the comfiest ride Rans used 4130 chromoly material for the frame. Rans C-Bar or B-Bar high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Nimbus to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of SR alloy.
For the smoothest biking experience Suntour XC-Comp, 24/36/46 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to KMC SS-90 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Rans, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Grip Shift SRT-600 gear shift levers.
