Professional Assembly Required

This bike ships partially assembled and is not ride-ready out of the box. Due to the complexity of the aero front end, integrated cockpit, and internal cable/hose routing, professional assembly by a qualified bike shop is required before riding.

Final assembly may include, but is not limited to, brake hose routing through the handlebar/cockpit, cockpit setup, bar tape wrapping, derailleur adjustment, brake adjustment or bleed, torque check, and full safety inspection.

If the buyer chooses to complete assembly themselves instead of using a qualified bike shop, they assume responsibility for proper assembly, adjustment, and safety inspection. Support may be limited for issues related to self-assembly, incorrect setup, improper torque, routing errors, or installation damage.
