This bike is equiped with Front: 20 x 1.50" Continental Grand Prix tires and HED titanium/stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Front: HED, Rear: Araya AP-20, 28-hole/32-hole. Rans equiped this exact model with Machine Tech QL brakes, Machine Tech QL levers braking system and Front: Chris King, Rear: Chris King cassette hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Rans used Chromoly, oversize material for the frame. Rans aluminum high strength material is used on the handlebar of this V-Rex SS to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Rans.
For the smoothest biking experience Shimano XTR is used on this bicycle linked to Sachs SC-40 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Rans, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Grip Shift SRT-800 X-Ray/White Industries gear shift levers.
