This bike is equiped with 700 x 25c Kenda K-152 tires and Sha-Dar stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Aluminum, 32-hole. Raleigh equiped this exact model with Tektro 423AG brakes, Shimano Sora STI Dual Control levers braking system and Joy Tech aluminum, Q/R hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Raleigh used 7005 aluminum with replaceable derailleur hanger material for the frame. Aluminum drop bar high strength material is used on the handlebar of this R400 to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Aluminum threadless.
For the smoothest biking experience Shimano Sora Triple, 30/42/52 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to Shimano CN-HG50 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Raleigh, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano Sora STI Dual Control gear shift levers.
