• Confirm the frame markings and seller description match this archived model. Note every component that differs from the published build.
• Record the frame serial number. It should be legible, unaltered and consistent with the seller’s ownership history.
• Find the size marking on the bicycle and confirm the fit before judging the condition or price.

Archived: Frame: Carbon All-Mountain, Aluminum CS, 150mm Travel, 27.5" and 29" options, UDH, Hangerless Interface Compatible, Ride Aligned™ · Fork: RockShox Lyrik Select, Charger RC, 160mm, 37mm Offset (27.5), 44mm Offset (29)

• Inspect composite areas in bright light for impact marks, cracks, ripples or crushed clamp zones. Check metal sections and welds separately for dents or cracking.
• Stand behind and in front of the bicycle to look for obvious frame, fork or wheel misalignment. Ask directly about crashes, transport damage and repairs.

Archived: Fork: RockShox Lyrik Select, Charger RC, 160mm, 37mm Offset (27.5), 44mm Offset (29) · Rear shock: RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate DH, LINM Tune, Meg Neg Air Can, 185x52.5mm Trunnion

• Inspect the fork stanchions for scratches or coating wear, look for oil or dirt rings at the seals, and cycle the fork through its travel while checking for binding or bushing play.
• Inspect the shock shaft and seals, cycle the rear suspension through its travel and check for oil, air loss, binding or unusual top-out and bottom-out noises.
• Hold the rear brake and load the suspension from several directions. Check pivots, bearings and mounting hardware for knock, looseness or side play.
• Ask for dated fork, shock and pivot-service records. A clean exterior does not establish the condition of internal seals, oil, bushings or bearings.

Archived: Shifters: Shimano Deore SL-M6100-R · Rear derailleur: Shimano Deore RD-M6100 · Crankset: Shimano Deore FC-MT6120-1, 32T, 170mm · Bottom bracket: Shimano PF92 · Cassette: Shimano Deore CS-M6100-12, 10-51T, 12 Speed · Chain: Shimano Deore CN-M6100

• Shift through every available gear under light load. Hesitation, skipping or inconsistent indexing can reflect wear, damage, poor adjustment or mismatched replacement parts.
• Measure chain wear with a compatible gauge and inspect chainring, cassette or freewheel teeth. A new chain does not rule out wear in the remaining drivetrain.
• Turn the cranks slowly, feel for rough bearings and check for side-to-side play. Inspect crank arms, chainring bolts and pedal threads for looseness or damage.

Archived: Brakes: (F) Shimano BR-MT520, 4 piston, Metallic Pads / (R) Shimano BR-MT520, 4 piston, Metallic Pads; Rotors: (F) Shimano RT-64, 203mm / (R) Shimano RT-64, 180mm; Levers: Shimano BR-MT520

• Inspect pads and braking surfaces, check the complete cable or hose path, and confirm both controls feel consistent and return cleanly.
• Before riding, test every installed brake separately at walking speed. Each should stop firmly and release cleanly without its control reaching the end of its usable travel.

Archived: Wheel size: 29"; 27.5" · Rims: Stan's Flow D, 32H · Hubs: (F) Shimano HB-MT410, 15x110mm Boost, Center Lock / (R) Shimano FH-MT510, 12x148mm Boost, Micro Spline, Center Lock · Front tire: Maxxis Assegai 2.5" 3C Maxx Terra/EXO+/TR, Folding · Rear tire: Maxxis Minion DHR II 2.4" WT 3C, Maxx Terra/EXO+/TR, Folding

• Spin both wheels and watch for side-to-side and vertical movement. Check spoke tension, rim condition and hub play.
• Inspect both tire casings for cuts, cracking, plugs, bulges or exposed threads and confirm the installed sizes are safe for the rims and available frame and fork clearance. This record indicates different front and rear wheel diameters, so verify each tire at its correct end.
• Remove and reinstall or closely inspect both wheel-retention systems. Axles or quick releases should tighten correctly with undamaged threads, hardware and dropouts.

Archived: Headset: FSA #57 E Sealed Bearing, Tapered · Handlebar: Butted 6061 Alloy, 800mm, 25mm Rise · Stem: Alloy, 40mm Length, 35mm Clamp · Seatpost: TranzX YS105, Adjustable Travel, 34.9mm, 150mm (S), 170mm (M), 200mm (L, XL) · Saddle: SDG Bel Air V3

• Apply the front brake and rock the bike to check for headset play or notchiness. Inspect the stem, handlebar and clamp zones, then confirm every fastener and control is secure.
• Check that the seatpost moves for adjustment and that the saddle, post and clamp hold securely without cracks, severe corrosion or damaged hardware.

• Before riding, confirm both wheels are secure, tires are safe, both brakes function, and the headset, handlebar, stem, cranks and pedals have no looseness.
• Begin at low speed. Test steering, braking and shifting progressively, then load the drivetrain and suspension only after the basic safety checks pass.
• Listen and feel for repeated knocks, grinding, skipping, brake pulsation or movement at joints. Stop the test if the bicycle cannot be controlled safely.
