How to Use the Brakes
•
Like regular bicycles the Argon has front and rear brakes.
•
The brakes are hydraulic disk brakes and offer great stopping
ability.
•
The rear brake is on the right side and should always be used
first.
•
The rear brake helps stabilize the bike.
•
The front brake is on the left side and should always be used
after the rear brake has been applied.
•
The front brake accounts for 75% of the stopping ability.

Always apply the rear brake first. Stopping
ability is reduced in wet or slippery conditions.
In these conditions, plan for extra time to stop.
