The absence of a shock absorber allows the BH Ultimate to display a clean and streamlined design; furthermore, it leaves all the suspension weight in the hands of the 100 mm travel of the Fox 34 SC fork. The BH Ultimate carbon frame is the skeleton of a rigid bike that mounts a 720 mm wide integrated Gemini Pröpus handlebar.
Shimano XTR components appear on the pedals, brakes, and drivetrain. Valero uses a wild 38-tooth chainring and a 10-45 12-speed cassette.
As for the wheels, Valero relies on Duke Lucky Jack Sls 4 with the front wheel -30 mm- slightly wider than the rear -28 mm-. All of this is supported by Chaoyang Phantom Speed Sps tires with a width of 2.30".
For the saddle, he has a Prologo Nago R4, which fits on an 80 mm Bikeyoke Divine SL seatpost.
Finally, David Valero's BH Ultimate handlebar features Prologo Mastery grips.
