Adventure Tips
Adjust Suspension for Terrain
Use the SR Suntour fork lockout on smoother trails for better pedaling efficiency, and unlock it when descending rough terrain to absorb shocks.
Bring Hydration
Carry plenty of water or use the included drink bottle holder to stay hydrated on longer rides through varied terrain.
Wear Closed Shoes
Closed-toe shoes with good grip improve pedal control and protect your feet on rough or technical sections of trail.
Check Weather Before Setting Out
Queenstown’s weather can change rapidly, so layer appropriately and pack rain protection when needed.
