This bike is equiped with 700 x 23c Vittoria Rubino Pro tires and Mavic stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Mavic Cosmos. Merlin equiped this exact model with Campagnolo Centaur dual pivot brakes, Campagnolo Centaur Ergo levers braking system and Mavic Cosmos hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Merlin used 3Al/2.5V titanium material for the frame. ITM Super Italian Pro 330 high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Fortius Centaur to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of ITM.
For the smoothest biking experience Campagnolo Centaur, 39/53 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to Shimano CN-HG53 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Merlin, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Campagnolo Centaur Ergo gear shift levers.
