4.2 Modos de condución

The VAKOLE VT4 offers 3 riding modes:

4.3 Cambio de marchas

Your VT4 is equipped with a professional 7-speed manual transmission. Use the gear shifter on the handlebar to change gears according to terrain and desired speed. Lower gears are for climbing hills, higher gears for flat terrain and speed.

4.4 Sistema de freos

The bike features reliable disc brakes on both front and rear wheels. Apply both brake levers simultaneously for effective and controlled stopping. Practice braking in a safe area to understand their response.
