How should I care for my Sila wooden bike frame?

Your Sila bike frame is crafted from premium, carefully treated wood — a material chosen for its unique ride quality and natural beauty. To keep it performing at its best for years to come, a few simple care steps are essential:

• Protection from the elements:
  Each frame is expertly treated to prevent water from penetrating the wood fibers. However, wood naturally expands and contracts with moisture and temperature changes, so it's important to avoid leaving your bike exposed to rain, snow, or high humidity for extended periods.
• Dry it after every ride:
  Always dry your bike thoroughly after each use — including rides in wet conditions or when transporting it on a car roof rack, where wind and road spray can cause prolonged wetness.
• Regular inspection:
  Periodically check for any scratches or worn protective coatings, and address them promptly according to the care instructions in your owner’s manual to maintain the integrity of the wood treatment.

By following these simple steps, you’ll protect the craftsmanship and enjoy the exceptional ride quality of your Sila bike for many years. And for your peace of mind, every Sila frame is backed by a lifetime warranty — our commitment to the enduring value of your investment.
