Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: Upon receiving the bike, it's recommended to have it professionally assembled and tuned by a qualified bicycle mechanic. This includes proper installation of the wheels, handlebars, seatpost, and crucially, setting up the suspension and drivetrain according to the rider's weight and preferences. Ensure the Bosch system is activated and the display is configured.
Compatibility: The bike utilizes standard bicycle components, but specific to its electric nature, it is compatible with Bosch eBike system accessories and chargers. Tire clearance, while generous, should be checked against desired tire sizes. The wireless AXS system is proprietary to SRAM.
Care:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the frame, drivetrain, and suspension components with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on bearings or electrical components. Use a damp cloth for the display and motor housing.
- Battery: Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Avoid full discharge for prolonged periods. When the bike is not in use for an extended time, store the battery with a charge of around 50-60%.
- Drivetrain: Keep the chain clean and lubricated. The wireless AXS system requires minimal mechanical adjustment but ensure the batteries in the derailleur and shifter are charged or replaced as needed.
- Suspension: Follow the service intervals recommended by RockShox for the fork and rear shock to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
