Velopedia analysis
What the specifications mean
Electronic shifting removes the usual shift cable but adds a separate battery and controls, while the 360% cassette range describes how much gearing is available. Hydraulic disc brakes shift routine service toward pad and rotor condition, fluid leaks and use of the correct bleed fluid. The rims and tires are tubeless-ready, but that label does not confirm the bike is currently set up without tubes; tape, valves, sealant and tire condition still matter.
Used-bike inspection
If you’re buying this bike used
Before any test ride: both brakes should stop the bike firmly and release cleanly; both wheels should run true and be securely attached; tires should have no casing damage; and the headset, handlebar, stem, cranks and pedals should have no looseness or play.
Follow the full used-bike inspection order →- FrameInspect the frame in bright light, especially around the head tube, bottom bracket, chainstays and clamped areas. Look for cracks, ripples, crushed sections or signs of a previous impact.Inspect the frame and fork →
- BrakesBoth levers should feel firm and return cleanly. Check for fluid around the levers and calipers, inspect pad thickness and contamination, and look for worn or bent rotors.Inspect the brakes →
- DrivetrainConfirm every shift-system battery charges, every shift control works and the derailleur moves cleanly across the cassette. Make sure the matching shift-system charger is included, then measure chain wear and inspect the cassette teeth.Check drivetrain wear →
- Wheels & tiresSpin both wheels and watch the rims for side-to-side or vertical movement. Check for dents, cracks, loose or uneven spokes and hub play, then inspect both tire casings for cuts, cracking or exposed threads. If it is set up tubeless, confirm both tires hold pressure and ask when the sealant was last refreshed.Check wheels and tires →
- Bottom bracketTurn the cranks slowly, feel for rough bearings and check for side-to-side play. Creaking under load deserves investigation but does not identify the source by itself.Inspect the bottom bracket and shell →
