Troubleshooting
Bike won't turn on
This is a non-electric bicycle; there is no power button. Ensure you are attempting to pedal or brake correctly.
Gears are not shifting smoothly
Ensure the gear cables are correctly tensioned and free from obstructions. If the issue persists after basic adjustments, professional adjustment by a cycle shop is recommended.
Brakes are not engaging effectively
Check that the brake cables are properly connected and tensioned. Inspect the brake pads for wear and ensure they are aligned with the wheel rim. Adjustments may be needed, or brake pads may require replacement.
Front suspension feels stiff or unresponsive
Ensure the suspension is not locked out if it has a lockout feature. Some suspension forks require a brief 'bedding-in' period. If stiffness persists, consult a professional for fork service.
