This bike is equiped with Front: 20 x 1 1/8" IRC Roadlite EX tires and Union stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Araya alloy, 36-hole. Rans equiped this exact model with Shimano Deore LX M-System brakes, Tektro RBP-366A levers braking system .
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 Stratus to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of SR alloy.
