Maintenance Tips  

• Clean carbon frame and fork after gravel, mud, or wet rides to prevent grit buildup and drivetrain wear.
• Inspect carbon frame regularly for cracks, deep scratches, or impact damage—especially around bottom bracket, chainstays, and head tube.
• Keep SRAM Force AXS drivetrain clean and updated; ensure batteries are charged and contacts are dry and secure.
• Check derailleur alignment, hanger integrity, and bolt torque regularly for precise electronic shifting performance.
• Maintain chain lubrication and replace chain when worn to protect cassette and chainrings.
• Inspect hydraulic brake system (pads, rotors, calipers) frequently for wear and consistent stopping power.
• Ensure thru-axles and seatpost clamp are properly torqued before every ride, especially on rough gravel.
• Avoid high-pressure washing to protect bearings, electronics, and carbon interfaces.
• Check wheel trueness and spoke tension regularly due to long-distance gravel vibration loads.
• Store indoors in a dry, temperature-stable environment and recharge AXS batteries as needed for readiness.
