Sette Serum Elite 10 Speed XTR Mountain Bike
If the original Serum Elite were NCC-1701, the new 30 speed version is NCC-1701-A.
For some of you, this analogy should make perfect sense. No further explanation necessary. If you're left scratching your head, the next time your favorite trails are unrideable and you're at a loss for something to do, use that time to brush up on your Star Trek lore.
Now that that's out of way, let's get to the good stuff.
The new Serum Elite uses the same fantastic 3K carbon frame as the original. In fact the parts kit remains the exact same save for one major detail- the drive train now features Shimano's latest XTR component group. The addition of a 10th cog will completely revolutionize the way you shift. Shimano calls it Dyna-Sys but think of it as a Transwarp Drive for you bike. Mountain bike shifting has never been quicker and more precise while the gear range has never been more useable.
Rounding out the parts kit is a selection of components that epitomize light weight durability. Mavic CrossMax ST wheels, Avid Elixir disc brakes and a Truvativ cockpit are among the highlights.
In a size 19" and pedals the new Serum Elite tips the scale at 21 lbs even. That's nearly a 1/2 pound savings over the original.

"The new Sette Serum bikes are awesome. They have improved the spec compared to Phantom hardtail they had in the past. It was light, but to work well you had to change out most of the components. The new Serum is built with a solid Shimano platform as well as a FOX fork...I'd suggest before you spend a dollar on another brand to seriously look at purchasing a Sette Serum bike... - See More at: Mtbr.com |

Does this bike come pre-assembled?
The Sette Serum Elite XTR 30 Speed Bike comes 95% assembled. The final steps to complete your bike are mounting the handlebars, pedals and front wheel and installing the seat and seatpost. The shifting and brakes are pre-assembled but will most likely require some fine tuning. Although you home mechanics may love the idea of putting your own bike together, to be covered under the manufacturer's warranty Sette USA requires that your bicycle be assembled by a qualified, professional bicycle mechanic.
What tools will be needed to assemble my bike?
Here are the tools required for the assembly of your bicycle:
2, 3,
4,
and 5mm Hex
(allen)
Wrenches Pedal Wrench (15mm)
For adjustments and routine maintenance, it will also be handy to have the following:
8mm Hex (Allen) Wrench
Philips Head Screwdriver
Shock Pump
Besides the
included general manual
there are also comprehensive
instructional guides for every
component found on your bicycle.
These are filled with valuable
information and we strongly suggest
that you hang on to these for future
reference.
Will this bike need a follow up tune-up? And when?
Yes, this bike will need a follow up tune up. After the initial assembly and fine tuning of your bike, it will be necessary to perform routine follow up maintenance. Depending on how often you ride and the intensity of the terrain, we highly recommend that after a break-in period of approximately one month that you perform a thorough tune up. WE CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH! This is the most important tune up that your bike will ever receive.
Why? All bikes break-in, no matter how much they cost! Cables stretch, bolts loosen, spokes tension changes, brakes and derailleurs go out of adjustment; all normal behavior, especially when a bike is new. After performing that first tune up, everything tends to settle in and your bike will usually require less frequent adjustments. A timely tune up on a new bike will help you get many years of reliable performance.
How do I get service for my bike?
If you have any questions at all, do not hesitate to contact Price Point. As an authorized Sette USA reseller, Price Point is prepared to answer any questions you may have. If you require routine maintenance and repair, Sette USA and Price Point recommend that you bring your bike to your local qualified, professional bicycle mechanic.
What size bike do I need?
Sette has provided a size chart to help determine what size bicycle you should purchase (see the tab above, under "Fit Guide").
Indications that you may require an alternative size to what is recommended in the Fit Guide:
Limited range of motion - often,
when someone has suffered an injury,
or has certain physical limitations
or development issues due to their
personal medical history, it may
result in limited ranges of motion.
If you fall at the extreme of
either
end of the
Fit Guide's size spectrum (i.e.
tall/short).
If you are confident that,
proportionately speaking, you
have very short/long torso or legs
for
your body height.
In those cases, you may need to modify certain components on your bicycle. Contact Price Point and our staff of knowledgeable experts will be glad to assist you in achieving the perfect fit.
Are there any specific torque values when assembling my carbon frame and bicycle?
Yes, there are. When tightening any bolt on a carbon, or carbon clamped, part, a certain level of common sense is required. They only need to be tightened to the point of being firm, and to where the clamped part is being securely held. NO FURTHER! Over-tightening will potentially crush the carbon, damaging the part to the point where it should be replaced. DO NOT RIDE ANY CARBON PART THAT IS DAMAGED!
If you own a torque wrench, use it! The guidelines below, measured in Newton Meters, will ensure years of reliable, safe performance from your carbon frames and parts.
Seat Post Binder - When using the stock FSA K-Force seatpost on the Sette Phantom Elite tighten to 3-4N.m. The torque spec for the bolt itself is 12N.m but you risk breaking the seatpost and/or the frame seat tube if locking the clamp over 4N.m.
Headset Cap - There is no standard measurement on top caps, just make sure to secure it enough to draw together all the parts in the steering area; fork, spacers, and stem so that there is no play in them. Typically this is 3-5N.m.
Stem Handlebar Clamp - 6N.m if your stem has 5mm bolts.
