Using the Gen 4 FX 2 is a breeze. To start, just adjust the seat to your preferred height. When you're ready to go, use the 9 - speed gears to match your riding speed and terrain. For stopping, rely on the disc brakes; just squeeze the brake levers gently. When riding in wet weather, be a bit more careful as the ground might be slippery. After each ride, give your bike a quick inspection. Check the tire pressure regularly and make sure it's at the recommended level. Every few months, take it to a professional bike shop for a thorough check - up and maintenance. Also, keep your bike clean by wiping it down after rides to prevent dirt and grime from building up.
