Maintenance Tips    

• Clean carbon frame, linkage, and drivetrain after every muddy or wet ride to prevent grit damage and wear.
• Inspect carbon frame and swingarm regularly for cracks, chips, or impact damage—especially after crashes or rock strikes.
• Service suspension pivots and bearings on schedule; check for play, creaks, or stiffness before rides.
• Keep SRAM Eagle 90 drivetrain clean for precise shifting and long-term reliability under XC race loads.
• Check derailleur mounting, crank interface, and all bolts regularly due to high-vibration terrain use.
• Inspect fork and rear shock for air pressure stability, seal condition, and oil leaks; follow service intervals.
• Maintain brake system (pads, rotors, calipers) with frequent inspection for consistent XC braking performance.
• Grease pivot hardware only where specified and always use correct torque to protect carbon interfaces.
• Avoid high-pressure washing around pivots, bearings, and drivetrain components.
• Store indoors in a dry, stable environment and re-check torque settings after initial rides
