Maintenance Tips

• Pivot Torque: Use a 5mm hex to remove the main pivot screw and tighten the main pivot axle to 19Nm with an 8mm hex. Reinstall the screw and torque to 10Nm to maintain rear-end stiffness.

• Bearing Check: Inspect pivot bearings regularly. If any feel rough or don’t spin freely, replace them to ensure smooth suspension movement.

• Suspension Setup: Start with all compression and rebound settings fully closed, then adjust as needed. Check sag with suspension fully open for accurate setup.

• Torque Specifications: Periodically check all bolts and components to ensure they're torqued to factory specs to avoid damage or loosening during rides.

• Cable Ports: Ensure unused cable ports are sealed to prevent dirt and water from entering the frame.

• Frame Protection: Inspect the frame for chips or wear, especially in high-contact areas. Apply protective tape or guards to preserve finish and prevent damage.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the bike after muddy or dusty rides. Avoid pressure washers and use a damp cloth to protect bearings and seals.
