INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Full-length housing improves shifting performance in poor conditions and increases use time between maintenance intervals. Internal routing for a clean, uncluttered look.

Flat-mount brakes offer a clean look, easy setup, and compatibility with most of todays road and gravel brake offerings.
