Adventure Tips

Check bike fit before setting off

Ensure the 52cm frame fits your height (about 5’4" to 5’8") for optimal comfort and control.

Prepare for elevation changes

Waimea roads have rolling hills; gear shifting skills are important for smooth climbs and descents.

Bring sun protection

Hawaiian sun can be intense—wear sunscreen and a helmet with a visor or sunglasses.

Carry water for hydration

Some routes pass through rural areas with few amenities; bring enough water for your ride.
