Page 6: Remove Wheels And
S T E P 1 REMOVE WHEELS & PUT BIKE IN STAND When you first open your bike box you will find a Quick Start Guide, accessory box and the bike itself. First, carefully remove the wheels and put to one side (A). While the bike is still in the box, take off the packaging around the handlebars and expose the dropper post lever on the left-hand side of the... - Page 7 S T E P 2 INSTALL HANDLEBARS Remove any packaging on the front of the bike, then spin the handlebar stem 180º so that the stem and forks are facing forward (A). Make sure that the forks are the correct way around – the front brake caliper should be on the left (non-drive) side of the bike, with the fork arch facing forward.
- Page 8 S T E P 3 INSTALL SRAM AXS REAR DERAILLEUR Move to the rear of the bike and cut off any zip-ties or packaging from the rear derailleur and chain. Using a 5mm Allen key, screw the derailleur into the derailleur hanger/frame (A).
- Page 9 S T E P 3 INSTALL SRAM AXS REAR DERAILLEUR ... Before you install the rear wheel you should fit the battery to the SRAM AXS wireless rear derailleur. You will find the battery and charger for your derailleur in the SRAM AXS box that came with your bike.

S T E P 4 INSTALL REAR WHEEL Take out the rear brake pad spacer – this is usually orange, red or yellow plastic. Once removed be careful not to squeeze the brake lever until the rear wheel is in position. The rear axle features an integrated pull-out lever that sits inside the axle body. - Page 11 S T E P 4 C O N T I N U E D . . . Once everything is lined up and in position, reinsert the axle and tighten using the integrated lever on the non-drive side (left), turning clockwise until tight (F).

Page 12: Install Front Wheel
S T E P 5 INSTALL FRONT WHEEL Remove all packaging from the wheel (make sure the hub end caps are still in the correct place). Then remove the brake pad spacer (usually orange, yellow or red) and the front wheel axle from the fork (A&B). Position the wheel so that the rotor fits into the brake caliper body and that the hub body slots into the grooves on the fork (C). - Page 13 S T E P 7 WIRELESS GEARING SET UP The Sniper XC FRO comes supplied with SRAM’s AXS wireless shifter and rear derailleur. You need to link the shifter and derailleur so that they are ‘talking’ to each other. Press and hold the button on the derailleur until it starts blinking, then release the button.
- Page 14 S T E P 8 ADJUST HEADSET & HANDLEBARS Your bike’s headset comes ‘pre-loaded’ from our factory but it is good practice to check it. If it feels a little loose then undo the stem clamping bolts slightly using a 4mm Allen key and then gently tighten the top cap bolt by a quarter clockwise turn (B).
- Page 15 S T E P 9 ADJUST SADDLE HEIGHT Set the height of your saddle (seat) with your seatpost in its fully extended position. Using a 4mm Allen key loosen the seatpost clamp and adjust the seatpost to the correct height. A good base measurement is to stand next to your bike in your riding shoes, putting your hand against the top of your hip bone (A).
- Page 16 I M P O R T A N T N O T E : SNIPER XC FRO REAR BRAKE ROUTING It is important to position the rear brake hose 38mm (1.5") away from the bottom surface of the downtube. This allows slack in the hose so that it doesn't come under tension when the suspension compresses.
- Page 17 You are looking for approximately 20% sag, so for the 100mm (3.9”) fork that comes on the Sniper XC FRO that measurement should be around 20mm (.79”). Adjust the pressure in your forks until you reach the correct sag.
- Page 18 S T E P 1 3 REAR SUSPENSION SETUP THE REBOUND DIAL (3MM ALLEN SCREW) IS LOCATED UNDERNEATH THE LOCK-OUT LEVER. SEE BELOW. Use the chart below to calculate the air pressure required for your weight. Sag for LOCKOUT LEVER the rear shock should be 30%.
- Page 19 S T E P 1 4 FINAL CHECK You are almost ready to go riding. Now is a good time to check over your bike to make sure that everything looks correct – all packaging is removed, bolts are all tightened to the correct torques, etc.
