Check tyre pressure before every journey — maintaining the correct tyre pressure improves comfort, rolling efficiency, grip, and puncture resistance across roads and mixed terrain.
Inspect brakes and gears regularly — routine checks help maintain reliable stopping power and precise shifting, keeping your bike safe and performing at its best.
