MT ZOOM SEATPOST AND PINARELLO COLLAR

British brand Mt Zoom makes lightweight components mostly for XC mountain bike racing and its seatpost weighs around 150g. It's held in place by a Pinarello carbon collar that lends the bike a little bit of Italian class

GARMIN POWER METER PEDALS

Not that he'd have time to be looking at any numbers, but Booker is using a pair of well-used Garmin Vector 3 power meter pedals 

NEGATIVE-RISE STEM

A 3T ARX stem with a negative rise ensures the hoods which Booker holds since the drops have been amputated - are in a lower position in order to be both aerodynamic and powerful
