Bedding-in the Brakes

For optimum brake performance with new bikes and brake pads, we recommend doing a series of 10 sequential, firm braking efforts from 40kph to 5kph in a controlled environment. This will ensure that the brake pad material is sufficiently deposited onto the rotor, improving the total braking force available, as well as resistance to over-heating.

Kickstand

The kickstand is retracted manually but has a switch so the 2X2 cannot be ridden with the stand down. The kickstand must be retracted before the throttle can be activated.
