Inside the box, you’ll nd a smaller box of parts, necessary tools,
documentation and manuals. Once the bike is assembled, but
before you ride, please read the owner’s manual.
First, locate the staples on the top of the box and carefully remove
them with a screwdriver. Use caution: the staples are sharp.
Push the hand aps from the inside to the outside of the box. This
will make removing the bike easier.
Carefully lift the bike out of the box and set it onto the top of the box.
Next, remove the front wheel from the bike and set it aside. Remove
all additional packaging from the bike, letting the handlebar gently
hang from the frame.
Carefully lift and rotate the bike, lowering it gently back into the box
with the fork overhanging the box side.

Using the included Allen wrench, loosen and remove the bolts and
faceplate from the stem. The stem connects the handlebar to the
fork. Set the bolts and faceplate aside together, so you don’t lose
anything.
Insert the handlebar into the stem and verify the brake hoses and
shift cables wrap around the frame cleanly, without kinks to any of
the lines.
Loosely reattach the faceplate to the stem. Take care to not tighten
one bolt more than another. Your goal is a consistent gap between
the stem and faceplate.
Center the handlebar in the stem using the markings on the bar, then
roll it back into a comfortable position. Lightly hand-tighten the stem
bolts using the Allen key, ensuring there’s an even gap between the
stem and faceplate. We’ll fully tighten these later.

Loosen the seatpost clamp with the Allen key.
On the seatpost, locate the minimum insertion line.
Insert the seatpost into the frame beyond the minimum insertion line.
Hand tighten the clamp using the Allen key, enough so the seatpost
can’t be pulled from the frame.

Unthread and remove the thru-axle from the fork and place it on a
clean surface.
Remove the brake pad spacer. Take care to not pull the front brake
lever without either the pad spacer or disc brake rotor is not installed.
Carefully lift the bike from the box and gently place the fork ends on
the ground.
Locate the disc brake rotor on the front wheel. Orient the wheel so
the rotor is on the left side – the same side as the front brake pads.

Line the brake rotor up with the disc brake pads, then lift the front of
the bike and roll the wheel into the fork.
Carefully align and lower the fork onto the wheel axle. Ensure the
brake pads are in-line with the disc and the wheel axle is fully seated
in the fork dropouts.
Insert the thru-axle from the right (drivetrain) side of the bike and
tighten. When properly tightened, the lever should leave a mark on
your hand.
Ensure the thru-axle head is is aligned behind the fork leg. Holding
the end of the thru axle with your thumb, pull the thru-axle head out
to make angle adjustments without aecting the tightness of the
axle.
At this point you can remove any additional packaging from the bike.

of the front wheel.
Repeat with the left pedal (with an L on it).

Conrm the handlebar is centered in the stem, and at the correct
height and angle. Adjust as necessary, taking care to keep the gap
between the stem and faceplate even from top to bottom.
Select the correct bit for the stem faceplate bolts and
install it into the torque wrench. Tighten the stem bolts in an “X”
pattern, ensuring the gap between the faceplate and stem remains
even.
Look for torque specication markings on the front and back of
the stem, as well as the head of the seatpost. If these markings are
absent, torque all stem and seatpost bolts to 7 Nm.
Adjust seat height by loosening the seatpost collar.
Standing next to the bike, position the saddle so it’s the same height
as your hip.
