Gear Shifting

Your bike is equipped with a 7-speed derailleur system. Use the shifter on the handlebar to change gears according to terrain and desired speed. Shift smoothly to avoid strain on the drivetrain.

Braking

The hydraulic disc brakes offer superior stopping power. Apply both front and rear brakes simultaneously for effective and controlled stopping. Avoid sudden, hard braking, especially with the front brake only.

Hydraulic Suspension

The hydraulic suspension fork provides a smoother ride. It features a lockout function, allowing you to lock the suspension for efficient riding on flat roads and unlock it for comfort on bumpy paths.

• Brakes: Regularly check brake pads for wear and ensure brake levers provide firm and responsive braking. Adjust or replace as needed.
• Chain: Keep the chain clean and lubricated to ensure smooth gear changes and prevent premature wear.
