Maintenance Tips:
- Drivetrain Care: Clean and lubricate the 12-speed chain every 100-150 miles or after riding in heavy rain.
- Hydraulic Brakes: Avoid getting lubricants or cleaning agents on the brake rotors to prevent noise and loss of stopping power.
- Tire Pressure: Check your tire pressure before every ride to prevent pinch flats, especially if utilizing the bike's wider tire clearance capabilities.
- Professional Service: Due to the complexity of hydraulic lines and 12-speed indexing, annual professional servicing is recommended for optimal performance.
