Fit, setup, and recommended upgrades
- We want every rider, local or remote, to get the best performance from their new Scene VLT.
- Local pickup customers: We can set saddle height, bar position, and tire pressures so the bike is tuned correctly for your height and local terrain.
- Shipped bikes: The bike arrives professionally assembled and test ridden. If you need help with cockpit or saddle setup at home, our staff can walk you through the basics or answer questions before your first ride.
- Recommended upgrades: Many riders choose to add pedals, city accessories (rack, panniers, fenders), or cockpit adjustments (grips, bar width, stem length) to match their riding style. If you would like suggestions, we can help you choose options that complement the bike’s geometry and intended use.
