Solid Strike EVO Owner's Manual

Owner's Manual Solid Strike EVO
Congrats on your new Solid Strike EVO Downhillbike!!
You've decided to go for a expertly engineered, high spec DH machine. Technical work and bike
Maintenance need to be performed by specifically trained personnel.

Adjustability of the frame

The Solid Strike has been designed for the use of 27.5"-wheels. Rear wheel travel is 203 mm / 8".
We recommend the use of fork that is designed for the use of 27.5"-wheels and has a travel of
around 200 mm.
If you have purchased a new Solid Strike Evo as a complete bike, a suitable fork is already installed.
When taking your new Solid out of the box, the stem needs to be mounted to the upper fork crown
and the pedals need to be fitted to the cranks.

Assembly of stem on upper fork crown:

- Apply medium strength screw locking system (e.g Loctite)
- Tighten the screws which attach the stem to the upper fork crown with a torque of 7Nm

Mounting of the pedals

- Please consider that the left pedal is equipped with a left-handed thread – it needs to be
tightened counterclockwise. The right pedal possesses a regular thread, meaning it can be
tightened clockwise.
- Tighten your pedals with a torque of 38 to 43 Nm at the cranks (if there are no different
information available from the manufacturer). Please consider also all other claims by the
manufacturer and use the washers included in the package and apply some grease on the
thread in order to avoid contact corrosion.

Tires

CAUTION: Some models of the Solid Strike Evo are equipped tubless as standard, i.e. on these bikes,
there is no tube inside the tire. In case you purchased one of our tubeless-models (e.g. Solid Strike
Evo Factory), please consider the following:
This technology deriving from racing saves weight and leads to a better flex behaviour of the tire.
Unfortunately, tubeless tires are never 100% sealed – this is why you should check your tire pressure
before riding.
