SAFETY & WARNINGS

OVERVIEW

Step 1: Getting started
Remove the bike from the packaging. DO NOT dispose of the original packaging until
assembly is complete. Check all packaging to ensure all necessary components are found
before beginning assembly.
Remove all padding and zip ties as you go.
Figure 1
Step 2: Front fork
Place the front wheel between the fork in the front of the frame (Figure 2a), positioned
between the front brake blocks. Ensure the wheel is aligned in the centre before tightening.
Front wheel must be in the centre of the fork (Figure 2b), or the front brake will not operate
smoothly.
Note: Do not tighten components to 100% during assembly. Loosely tighten only to
50%-80% tightness; and retighten when assembly is complete.

ASSEMBLY

Step 3: Handlebar
Loosen the 4 bolts on head tube's front cover (Figure 3a), and install the handlebar into the
front of the head tube. It will lock into the middle with the brakes angled about 35°
downward (Figure 3b).
Figure 3a
Figure 3b
Step 4: Brakes
Adjust the brakes: they should be taut with the brake pulled approximately 1/3 of the way to
the handlebar (Figure 4a).
Figure 4a

Note: If the brake is not easy to adjust, adjust as per the steps below. Figures 4b and 4c are
the two adjustment screws in the front of the rear disc brake bracket. Figures 4d and 4e are
the adjustment screws behind of the rear disc brake. The distance between the disc brake
block and the disc is adjusted by these 2 screws. The disc pad must be in the middle of the
disc brake block. In the middle of the disc, the disc pad cannot be rubbed to the disc brakes
on both sides. Do not ride the bike unless the brakes have been tested.

Step 5: Seat post
Insert the seat post into the body tube (Figure 5a). The safety line should be within the tube.
Make sure that the minimum insertion mark is completely covered (with the safety line within
the tube) and that the seat is pointing forward in alignment with the bicycle. Secure with the
clamp at the base of the post (Figure 5b).
Figure 5a Figure 5b
Step 6: Attaching the pedals
Install the pedal marked “L” on the left crank and tighten, then install the pedal marked “R”
on the right crank and tighten. Note: Damage will occur if pedals are not correctly and firmly
attached.
Figure 6a Figure 6b
Step 7: Gear adjustment
The right shifter controls the rear 7 levels (rear freewheel) (Figure 7a), while the left shifter
controls the front 3 levels (crank gears) (Figure 7b). Control with both shifters to adjust the
cycling gear.
Figure 7a: Right shifter – Rear Freewheel Figure 7b: Left shifter – Crank

Step 8: Front suspension adjustment
The front suspension can be unlocked to provide greater shock absorption for mountain
biking and other bumpy road conditions.
Figure 8
Step 9: Assembly complete
Go through and retighten the fastenings to ensure everything is sturdy and safe before using.
