FAQs

What size frame should I choose?

Refer to the Vitus sizing chart on their website or consult a bike shop for assistance. Consider your height and inseam measurements.

How often should I service the suspension?

Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for suspension servicing, typically every 50-100 hours of riding or annually, whichever comes first.

What type of tires can I use?

The bike is designed for mountain bike tires. Consider the terrain you'll be riding on and choose tires accordingly (e.g., trail, all-mountain).

How do I maintain the hydraulic disc brakes?

Regularly check brake pad wear, bleed the brakes when needed, and keep the rotors clean. If you are not comfortable doing it, seek a professional bike mechanic.

What is the warranty?

Can I install a dropper post?

Where can I find replacement parts?

Troubleshooting

Difficulty shifting gears.

Check the derailleur alignment and cable tension. Lubricate the chain and derailleurs. Replace any worn cables or housings.

Brakes feel spongy or weak.

Bleed the brakes to remove any air in the lines. Check brake pad wear and replace if necessary. Inspect the rotors for contamination.

Suspension feels harsh or unresponsive.

Check and adjust the air pressure in the fork to match rider weight and riding style. Ensure the fork is properly lubricated.
