Eco Trekking

Every ride: check tire pressure, quick-releases, and brake function.

Monthly: clean and lubricate chain, inspect brake pads and cables, check bolt torque (stem, seatpost, crank).

Every 6–12 months: replace chain (depending on mileage), true wheels, refresh bar tape; full service at an Atala dealer for drivetrain and bearing checks.
Proper, regular maintenance preserves performance and safety and keeps your warranty in good standing.

Measure your inseam and consult Atala’s frame geometries. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller for nimble handling or the larger for more stable cruising. For riders with shorter reach, a shorter stem or a step-through frame can improve comfort. Your Atala dealer can provide a quick fit to confirm saddle height and reach.

Hardtail (front suspension): lighter, efficient on climbs and gravel; easier upkeep.

Full-suspension: more traction and comfort on rough trails; better control at speed and on technical descents.
If your terrain is mixed but not extreme, start with a hardtail; choose full-suspension for aggressive trail riding.

Yes. Atala BMX models are designed for durability, agility, and control. Beginners should start with a model that has a robust frame, reliable U-brakes or disc, and grippy tires. As skills progress, consider stronger wheels and chromoly components for street and park riding.

Choose the correct wheel size (16″, 20″, 24″).

Ensure a low standover and light frame.

Set correct saddle height and reach.

Use puncture-resistant tires and reliable brakes (V-brake or disc for larger sizes).

Add reflectors and bell.
An Atala dealer can help set up controls for small hands and review safety basics.

Consider fenders, rear rack, puncture-resistant tires, lights, ergonomic grips, and a kickstand. A suspension seatpost and wider saddle can further improve comfort on cobblestones. Choose internal gearing or 1x drivetrains for low maintenance.

Trekking configurations prioritize long-distance comfort and load capacity: multiple rack/ pannier mounts, wider range gearing, all-weather brakes, and dynamo or high-output lights. City builds focus on upright posture, simplicity, and low maintenance for stop-and-go traffic.

Use a Sold Secure-rated U-lock plus a secondary chain or cable for wheels. Lock to a fixed anchor, keep the lock off the ground, and remove accessories (lights/computer). Register the bike’s serial number and consider insurance for high-value models.

Follow sidewall ranges and adjust to rider weight and load. For 35–45 mm city tires, 3.0–4.5 bar (45–65 psi) is typical. Lower pressure improves comfort and grip; higher pressure reduces rolling resistance. Recheck weekly—proper pressure prevents pinch flats.

Monthly: chain clean/lube, brake pad check, tire inspection.

Quarterly: gear adjustment, wheel true, bolt torque check.

Seasonal: cable and housing refresh, hub and bottom-bracket check.
An Atala dealer can tailor a service plan to your mileage and conditions.
