FAQs

What does the Shape.It Link do?

The Shape.It Link is a flip chip system that allows you to adjust the bike's geometry, altering the head angle and bottom bracket height to match specific trail conditions.

What type of brakes does the Syphon S use?

It comes with TRP EVO Comp four-piston hydraulic disc brakes, which are designed for high stopping power and modulation on steep descents.

Is the bike suitable for bikepacking?

Yes, its climbing efficiency and stable frame make it a capable bike for long-distance trail riding, provided you use frame bags compatible with the alloy geometry.

How often should I service the suspension?

It is recommended to perform a basic air-can service on the rear shock and lower leg service on the fork every 50 hours of riding.

Can I upgrade the drivetrain later?

The bike uses a standard Shimano 1x12 ecosystem, meaning most components within that range or higher-tier compatible Shimano parts can be swapped in.

What tire size comes standard?

The bike is equipped with Schwalbe Albert Radial tyres, chosen for their grip profile across a wide range of trail conditions.

Troubleshooting

Suspension feels harsh or unresponsive

Check your air pressure against the manufacturer's suggested PSI chart and ensure the rebound settings are not set too slow.

Brakes feel mushy or lack stopping power

The hydraulic system may require a bleed to remove trapped air, or the brake pads may be contaminated and need replacement.

Ghost shifting or missed gears

Check the barrel adjuster on the rear derailleur for cable tension, or inspect the derailleur hanger for potential misalignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper setup is critical to getting the most out of the Syphon S. Begin by setting your sag on the RockShox Deluxe Select RT rear shock to approximately 25-30% for optimal trail performance. The Shimano Deore drivetrain is durable but should be kept clean and lubricated to ensure crisp shifting; use a dedicated bicycle chain lubricant and wipe away excess grit after muddy rides. Always check your TRP brake calipers and pads after long, sustained descents to ensure the pistons are moving freely and pads have sufficient thickness. Ensure the Shape.It Link hardware is torqued to factory specifications before every ride to prevent play in the linkage.
