Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, begin by setting your sag for both the front and rear suspension based on your riding weight. The Tubeless Ready Bontrager wheels arrive ready for setup; adding sealant before your first ride is highly recommended to prevent flats.
For the electrical system, ensure the battery is seated correctly and the charging port cover is closed to prevent moisture ingress. Use only the provided charger to maintain battery health. Periodically check the Shimano XT drivetrain for debris, as keeping the chain clean and lubricated is critical for maintaining the high-performance shifting standard of the 12-speed system. Always inspect brake pads and rotors after muddy conditions to ensure stopping power remains consistent.
