Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: As a high-performance bicycle, professional assembly is recommended to ensure all components are installed and adjusted correctly. This includes proper torque on bolts, precise derailleur adjustment, and correct seating of the tubeless-ready carbon wheels.
Compatibility: The bike is equipped with SRAM Force XPLR AXS E1, a 13-speed wireless electronic groupset. Ensure any accessories or replacement parts are compatible with SRAM AXS components. The frame offers clearance for tires up to 50mm, allowing for a wide range of tire choices depending on your riding conditions.
Care and Maintenance:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the frame and components with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on bearings or electronic components. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
- Drivetrain: Keep the chain clean and lubricated. The SRAM AXS system requires periodic battery charging. Refer to the SRAM manual for specific battery care instructions.
- Tires: Check tire pressure before each ride and inspect for wear or damage. For tubeless setups, ensure the sealant is replenished as recommended by the sealant manufacturer.
- Carbon Care: Inspect the carbon frame regularly for any signs of damage, especially after impacts. Consult a professional if any concerns arise.
- Storage: Store the bike in a dry, temperate environment. Protect it from extreme weather conditions when not in use.
