Oprema, ki vas spravi v pogon 

Pri vožnji po makadamu gre predvsem za zabavo in raziskovanje zunaj uhojenih poti. Oblecite, kar želite, vozite, kar želite, vendar se pred odhodom odpravite na pot šele, ko imate s seboj te nujne stvari.

Dial in your fit

A great-fitting bike can be the difference between a good ride and a great ride. Small adjustments to the seat and handlebars can do the trick. If you need more guidance, your local Trek retailer can help you get the perfect fit. 

Check your tire pressure  

Make sure your tires are pumped up before every ride to ensure comfort and stability.

Clean and lube your chain

Prolong the life of your drivetrain by regularly cleaning out grit from the road and applying a thin coating of chain lube

Load your bike

Focus up front

Riding off the beaten path can take you to some pretty incredible places, where service is limited, and terrain is ever-changing. Make sure to keep your eyes on what's ahead to get the most out of your ride. 

Less pressure. More fun.

Taking the air out of your tires allows for more grip on variable terrain. If you find yourself sliding through turns, let some air out. 

Good vibrations

Gravel is rocky, and it’s important to stay loose when you roll. While passing over variable terrain, relax your arms for a more comfortable ride.  

Saddle up

Looser terrain means less traction. Try sitting while climbing up steep hills to prevent your wheels from spinning. You’ll get more power, too

Stay fueled

Variable terrain can make it harder to eat and drink on the bike. Make sure you’re fueling up the same way you would for a normal ride to keep your energy up.

Have fun

Don’t forget to enjoy the ride, get off the beaten path, and soak it all in.
