Brakes
Disc brakes are pre-installed on both the front and rear wheels.
Brake adjustment
Note: Before making any adjustments, double-check that the screws fastening the brake rotors
are very tight.
As you ride, your brake pads will start to become thinner. When you notice that braking power
decreases, adjust that pads closer to the rotor. Always keep an eye on them so you can replace
them the moment they are worn out. If you are unsure of anything relating to your brakes,
please take your bike to your local dealer for their expert advice.
CAUTION:
•
Note which brake lever controls which wheel: left brake lever controls front wheel, right
brake lever controls rear wheel.
•
Be sure to avoid abrupt or strong braking as it can cause you to fall off the bike.
