A choice of gears for changing gradients

The Zephyr Xpert has a 32T chainring and 11–50T cassette. You can choose a gear for the gradient with one shifter, without operating a front derailleur. Keep the drivetrain adjusted and lubricated according to its instructions.

Lower the saddle for more room to move

The EXA Form KSP900 dropper lets you lower the saddle before a descent and raise it for pedalling. Check the travel for your frame size in the specification, then set the saddle height and controls to suit you.

Set the air fork for your weight

The RockShox Recon Silver RL offers 140 mm of travel. Adjust the air pressure for your weight according to the fork’s instructions, using a suitable shock pump. Follow the recommended setup and service intervals.

Check your riding position

The suggested rider height is approximately 160–175 cm for Medium, 175–185 cm for Large and 185–205 cm for XL. Compare reach, standover clearance and your preferred position with a bike you know. Height is a starting point rather than a guarantee of fit.

The WTB STi30 rims are tubeless ready. Before converting, check that the fitted tyres are suitable too and use compatible tape, valves and sealant.

Choose routes within the bike’s intended use and your ability. Have it assembled and adjusted before the first ride, check it regularly and stop riding if you find damage or play.

Safety while riding

Riding, falls and impacts put loads through the bike and can damage components. No bike is indestructible: parts can wear out or become damaged. Check the frame, fork, bars, wheels, axles, cranks, pedals, brakes and bolted connections before every ride. Inspect the bike after a hard impact and stop riding if you find looseness, cracks or damage. Have any problem checked and repaired before riding again.

Wear a properly fitted helmet and suitable protective pads. Read our important information before buying and using a bike for assembly, servicing and riding checks.
