When temperatures drop and roads freeze, your bike needs special attention. This guide will help you prepare your bike for winter - safer, more comfortable and easier to maintain.
1. Change to winter tyres
On slippery roads, grip is crucial. Winter tyres have a deeper tread pattern and often studs to improve safety on ice and snow.
- Studded tyres are particularly suitable for icy conditions.
- Friction tyres work well if you drive more on snowy than icy roads.
- Remember to check air pressures regularly.

2. Ensure visibility with good lights
In winter, days are short and visibility is poor. That's why good front and rear lights are essential.
- Rechargeable USB lights are easy to use.
- A strong front light increases safety on the road.
- The tail light indicator function helps you to be more visible to motorists.

3. Service and lubricate the chain
Moisture, snow and road salt quickly wear down the chain. Use chain oil suitable for winter use and clean the chain regularly.
Tip: Wipe away excess oil - this will prevent excess dirt from building up.
4. Check the brakes
Brakes must work reliably even in cold conditions.
- Make sure that the brake pads are not worn.
- Disc brakes often work better in winter than rim brakes.
5. Protect the frame and components
In winter, road salt and moisture can corrode metal parts. Use protective products on the frame and components, and wash the bike regularly.
