Brakes

Mechanical disc brakes. TRP Spyre double pistons Simultaneous actuation of two brake pads combined with very fine adjustment options provide powerful, precise braking. 160 mm front and rear discs. You will need to bed these brakes in.

BEDDING IN YOUR BIKE'S BRAKE PADS IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL FOR EFFECTIVE BRAKING.

This involves gradually heating up the brake pads and rotors to create an even contact surface. Before bedding in your brakes, it's important to do the following: Clean the brake discs. If you change the pad, it's recommended that you also change the rotors. Get kitted out. Wear a helmet and fix a bike computer or bike GPS to your bike. Choose a safe place. Bed in your brakes on a flat, dry road with no obstacles.

THE BEDDING-IN PROCEDURE INVOLVES GRADUALLY BRAKING SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW, FROM INCREASING SPEEDS.

It's important to alternate between the front and rear brakes, and to work through the following steps: Step 1: Ride at 15 km/h and gradually brake to slow yourself to 5 km/h, 10 times in a row. Step 2: Ride at 20 km/h and gradually brake to slow yourself to 5 km/h, 10 times in a row. Step 3: Ride at 25 km/h and gradually brake to slow yourself to 5 km/h, 10 times in a row. Between each step, release the brakes and ride a few dozen metres to let the rotor and caliper cool down.

A FEW EXTRA TIPS FOR BEDDING IN YOUR BRAKES:

Use one brake at a time so that you don't overheat the pads. Ride on a flat surface to avoid jolts. Don't brake harshly. Be patient. Bedding in can take up to 30 minutes. If you notice a rainbow mark on your discs or if your braking isn't very effective, this means that your brakes are "glazed". If this happens, please visit a Decathlon workshop.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE BIKE

You should choose the size of your bike based on your height, as well as your build (arm span and leg length). If you are between sizes, opting for the smaller size will give you a more comfortable position that makes it easier to tackle gravel trails. XS: from 154 to 165 cm S: from 165 to 173 cm M: from 173 to 180 cm L: from 180 to 188 cm XL: from 188 to 200 cm
