2.1.2 How may you ride your bicycle?
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Sit on the saddle or ride out of the saddle,
i.e. pedalling in a standing position.
Hold the left handlebar grip with your left
hand and the right hand handlebar grip
with your right hand. Place your left foot
on the left pedal and your right foot on the
right pedal.
Place your left foot on the left pedal and
your right foot on the right pedal.
Only use the bicycle as a means of travel.
2.1.3 Where may you ride your bicycle?
All bicycles manufactured by our com-
pany are classied into categories. Your
bicycle‘s category is detailed at the end
of this Owner's Manual. (Last Page)
This is entered by your dealer on
purchase (see also Chapter 4).
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Your safety on these roads and tracks
depends on your speed.
In the case of jumps and cycling at high
speed, or if you are riding in the bike-
park or downhill, there is basically a risk
of falling. Only jump and ride at high
speed when you have rmly mastered
this riding technique.
The faster you ride, the bigger the risk
you take!
Please note that all roads and paths may
be damaged and/or have obstacles.
In such areas, you should cycle particu-
larly slowly and carefully. Push or carry
your bicycle over such dicult areas if
necessary.
When riding your bicycle at high speed,
with a sporty riding style (e.g. riding
fast over edges, speed reduction ramps,
bumps, etc.), or in the bike park, there is
always an increased risk of falls.
Only ride at high speeds if you can control
your bicycle in every situation.
Adjust the use of your bicycle to your
riding skills and use the appropriate pro-
tective equipment.
Adjust your bike to for the required use
and your riding ability, and use the appro-
priate protective equipment.

All lighting components and reectors
must be ocially approved.
Approval can be recognised by a "K"

please consult your dealer.
2.1.4 In what condition must your bike
be in when you ride it?
Your new bike is an item of sports equip-
ment and may not be used on public
roads unless equipped to StVZO speci-
cation. In order to meet current StVZO
requirements, your bike must have the
following equipment listed here in ext-
ract form tted.

2.1.5 Accessories and modications
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Many cyclists like to modify their bikes and
customise them to their particular wishes.
Forks, saddles, handlebars, pedals, brakes,
tyres and suspension elements - there are
many possibilities for changing your bike
subsequently.
Working on bikes, including work which
is assumed to be very simple, requires
sound training, sound knowledge and a
great deal of experience.
Unprofessional work on your bike can
lead to dangerous riding situations, fal-
ling, accidents and material damage.
Only use accessories that have been certied
according to EN standards. Bike compu-
ters and bottle holders are an exception,
provided they are selected and tted by a
specialist dealer.
Consult your specialist dealer when choo-
sing accessories for your bicycle.
Our company prohibits replacing the front
fork for modication purposes. If replacing
the fork becomes necessary during repairs,
only a fork may be used that is identical in
construction and has been approved by our
company for your bicycle model.
Consult our authorised specialist dealer.
The retrotting of electrical drives to any of
our bicycles is not allowed.
You may not change the condition of any
part of your bicycle.

Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Carbon is a modern material used in bi-
cycle and vehicle construction. However,
carbon components are highly sensitive.
Errors in its assembly or use could lead
to breakages and therefore dangerous
driving conditions, falls, accidents and
material damage.
It is imperative that you observe all of the
following information regarding the use of
carbon parts.
Should you have any questions relating to
the use of carbon parts, please consult your
specialist retailer. Risk of personal injury and
material damage!
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Shock and impact loads which may occur
as a result of unintended use (see chapters
2.1.3 and 4.1) or stone-chipping, may lead
to inconspicuous damage in the carbon
bres and/or delamination (= a dissoluti-
on of the bonded carbon layers).
Such damage, combined with the forces
arising from the operation of the bicycle
can suddenly break carbon parts and
therefore lead to dangerous driving
conditions, falls, accidents and material
damage
Your bicycle must be used solely for the in-
tended purpose (see chapters 2.1.3 and 4.1)
After falls or other major mechanical stresses
which are not prescribed under normal
biking operations, carbon frames and com-
ponents should no longer be used.
Please consult your authorised specialist
retailer immediately after a fall.
Carbon is a more commonly used term for carbon-
bre reinforced plastic. This describes a bre-plastic
composite material in which the carbon bres are
embedded in several layers in a plastic matrix.
4.9.1 Information on frame
construction
These high-end products are produced by hand.
Deviations in nish may therefore occur, however,
this does not represent grounds for complaint.
4.9.2 How to use your carbon
parts correctly
1. Do not, under any circumstances, mount
brackets, screws, clamps or other ele-
ments which exert mechanical pressure
on the carbon tube.
2. Clamping onto bike stands or other wall
brackets:
Never clamp your bicycle to a carbon tube
or carbon seat post in the clamping jaws of
a bike stand.
3. Please take care when using shackle
locks! These may, under certain circum-
stances, damage your frame.
When using shackle locks, please ensure
that these only touch the respective carbon
tube at very the most, and are not exerting
pressure.
4. Saddle clamp / seatpost:
The prescribed tightening torque of the
saddle clamp bolt is 5-6 Nm.
The seat tube must not be scoured or me-
chanically processed in any other way.
Please consult your authorised specialist
retailer immediately after a fall.
The seatposts and seat tubes must not be
lubricated. Only a carbon assembly paste
may be used.
Aluminium seatposts may only be mounted
using a carbon assembly paste.
The seat clamp may not be closed if the seat
post has been removed.
5. Bottle holder:
The thread sets are provided for attaching
standard bottle holders. The maximum tigh-
tening torque of the screws for attaching the
bottle holder to the frame is 4 Nm.
4.8 General information
4.8.1 Brakes
Your bicycle is equipped with one or two
independently-operated rim or disk brakes
(see chapter 4.1 - 4.7).
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Incorrect operation of the brakes can
lead to dangerous riding conditions, falls,
accidents and material damage.
Familiarise yourself with the operation of
the brakes.
Determine which brake lever operates the
front brake and which one operates the
back brake.
Operate the respective brake lever several
times in the static position. You can observe
an opening and closing action of the brake
blocks or brake calipers on the respective
disk or rim.
4.8.2 Gear shift
Your bicycle is equipped with
a derailleur gear and a crank set with one,
two or three chainwheels. This gear shift will
provide you with the optimal gear for every
speed speed and will, for example, enable
you to ride uphill more easily.
This is how you can determine the number
of gears: Derailleur gear: Multiply the
number of the front chainwheels with the
number of sprocket wheels in the back,
e. g. 2 chainwheels x 10 sprocket wheels =
20 gears.
Hub gear: Please take the indication on
the hub shell or on the gearshift lever into
account.
4.8.3 Frame and fork
Bicycle frames are available in the
following versions:
without suspension: rigid fork and rigid

Move the saddle to the desired position.
For seat clamps with only one xing screw:
always tighten the seat clamp with the
correct, prescribed torque. Make sure that
all loosened parts join together with the
correct alignment (see Chapter 3.3.).
For seat clamps with two xing screws:
tighten one screw just for a quarter or a half
turn then continue with the other screw
in the same way. Do this as long as you´ve
reached the right torque (see Chapter 3.3.).
Please observe the specied tightening
torques in table 3.3.
8.3 Adjust saddle height
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
A saddle set too high for children who
are not yet able to cycle safely without
assistance, could result in dangerous
driving conditions, falls, accidents, and/or
property damage.
Adjust the seat height in such a way that the
child's feet can touch the ground when in a
sitting position.
On a gripper clamp with bolt, you need a
hexagonal socket and a torque wrench of
the correct size. For a quick-release clamp,
please see Chapter 7.8.
1. Loosen the clamp as described in
Chapter 11.2.
2. Move the saddle and saddle stem to the
desired position. Please note the inst-
ructions regarding saddle stem insertion
distance in Chapter 11.2.
3. Clamp the saddle stem as described in
Chapter 11.2.
8.4 Adjust suspension forks
1. Please read the instructions for adjusting
your suspension forks in the suspension
fork manufacturer‘s parts instructions.
2. If your forks have a xed adjustment
mechanism as shown in the illustration,
please read the related instructions in
the suspension fork manufacturer‘s parts
instructions.
Suspension forks with elastomers and/
or steel springs are only suitable for one
overall weight range (= weight of rider
+ any baggage). This weight range is
usually within 20 kg.
Only the forks pre-tensioning can be
adjusted by compressing the springs by
means of an adjuster screw. This merely
changes the initial breakaway torque of
the forks.
That is, with greater pre-tensioning, the
forks only deect at higher operating
forces.
If the forks are pre-tensioned too much,
suspension travel is accordingly less.
The weight range for which the suspen-
sion elements in your forks are suited
can be found in the fork manufacturer‘s
instructions and/or you can consult your
dealer.
If your total weight is outside this range,
have your dealer t suspension elements
matching your weight.
8 Adjusting and servicing
your bike
You can modify your bike yourself.
Only make these adjustments yourself if
you have the appropriate technical know-
ledge and experience and the right tools
for the job.
8.1 Adjusting the adjustable stem
(optional)
Many bikes are tted with an adjustable
stem, the height and angle of which can be
adjusted. Only have the adjustment made in
a specialist workshop!
8.2 Adjust saddle position
Your saddle will be secured with one or two
clamping bolts.
To adjust it, you need a hexagonal socket of
the right size and a torque wrench.
1. To adjust the horizontal position or incli-
nation of your saddle:
Loosen the clamping bolt(s) a few turns until
the saddle can be turned easily and/or the
inclination angle adjusted.
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Damaged bicycle parts can have sharp edges
and injure you.
Check all the bike parts that you may come into
contact with while riding your bike.
Have damaged parts repaired or replaced

As for side stands with adjustable lengths:
check if the extendable part can be moved
by exerting hand force.
2. Check the secure stand of your bicycle.
Lean or place your bicycle on the unfolded
side stand.
Your bicycle must stand by itself.
When pushed slightly in any direction, your
bicycle must remain standing and not fall
over.
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Accessories that have not been tted
correctly or that have become loose can
jeopardise your safety when riding.
Check any accessory that is explicitly listed
herein to ensure that it has been secured
properly.
Immediately contact a specialist workshop
in case one of the following requirements is
not met.

ting is done by pressing buttons.
The Di2 connection is analog.
For further information, please refer
to the specic operating instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
On derailleur systems, the gear is shifted
by switching the chain to another sprocket.
On the crank set, these sprockets are called
"chain rings" and on the rear sprocket
cassette they are called "pinions".
3. Please observe the chain position
prescribed as shown above.
To be avoided:
largest chain ring + largest pinion.
Smallest chain ring + smallest pinion.

1. Have this tting work done by your
dealer.
2. To position your foot correctly on the
pedal:
a) Bring the pedal down to its lowest
position.
b) With the toe of your shoe pointing
downwards, position the hook nose of the
shoe in the front pedal insertion point.
c) When the hook nose is positioned
correctly in the pedal, push the whole
surface of the foot sharply downwards
until the clamping mechanism clearly and
audibly engages.
The shoe is now rmly vertically connected
with the pedal.
Depending on the pedal system, the shoe
has sideward freedom of movement.
3. To loosen your shoe from the pedal:
Twist your heel sharply away from the bike.
With click-in pedals, the shoe and pedal
are rmly connected in a vertical direc-
tion. When pedalling, you can not only
push the pedal down but also pull it
upwards.
To be able to use a click-in pedal to the
full, you need shoes specially designed
for the pedal system concerned and to
which the pedal hooks supplied with the
pedal can be axed.
The following description is intended
purely as an example.
Please refer to the instructions for your
pedal/shoe combination provided by the
manufacturer and/or consult your speci-
alist dealer in order to ensure that your
click-in pedal system is correctly assem-
bled and you use it correctly.
Open the lever again and turn the nut
counter-clockwise again as necessary.
Check that the wheels are seated rmly as
described in Chapter 7.1
8.9 Using click-in pedals (optional)
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Click-in pedals are not safety pedals.
If an excessive release force is set, it is
possible that you will not be able to get
your shoes out of the pedal quick enough
in an emergency situation.
If too soft a release force is set, the shoe
may possibly become disengaged from
the pedal unintentionally when you are
riding.
In either case, there is an increased dan-
ger of falling and injury.
Familiarise yourself with the click-in pedals
and how to use them.
Practise mounting onto and dismounting
from the pedals when not moving.
Sit on the saddle and hold onto a stable
object with one hand.
Click both shoes alternately in and out.
Please consult your dealer.
Familiarise yourself with the release on
careful practice rides.
Discover for yourself the optimum tightness
setting.
Practise mounting and dismounting at
various release settings.
You can nd details on how to adjust the
release setting in the accompanying parts
instructions and/or consult your dealer.
In unpredictable trac situations and on
dicult terrain, it is often necessary to
"click out" with one or even both shoes.
Practise this with both feet alternately.
When pedalling, place your shoe centrally
on the pedal so that you don‘t click in.
If need be, you can then support yourself
with one or both legs on the ground.

11.2 Remove and replace seat post
and saddle
Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
An incorrectly tted saddle post can lead
to dangerous riding situations, falling,
accidents and material damage.
You must have your dealer demonstrate
tting and removing your saddle post.
Practise this job at least once under his
supervision and control.
Only remove and t the saddle post and
saddle if you are sure you have mastered
this job.
For transportation, you can remove your bike‘s
saddle post complete with saddle and replace it
again afterwards.
The saddle post is held with a clamp in the frame se-
at tube and is tightened with either a quick release
or a hexagon socket.
On carbon bre saddle posts, special types may be
tted with two screws.
For clamping without a quick release, a hexagon
socket and a torque wrench of the appropriate size
are required. Please also consult your dealer.
To remove your saddle post:
1. Release the saddle clamp at the quick
release as per Chapter 8.8 or by loosening
the Allen screw with an Allen key.

12 Cleaning and caring for your
bike
Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
Corrosion can damage components of
your bike which are important for safety
so that they are no longer secure. These
components may then brake during ri-
ding and thus result in serious falls.
Corrosion is caused, amongst other
things, by
-
salt (e.g. due to salt spreading in winter)
-
salty air (e.g in coastal or industrial areas)
-
perspiration.
Danger of material damage!
Do not use steam washers. The high pres-
sure water jet can damage your bike.
Good maintenance will increase the life of your bike
and its components. Clean and maintain your bike
regularly.
For wet cleaning, use a gentle water jet or a bucket
of water and a sponge.
Only use clean fresh water or desalinated water.
There are many ways of washing a bike. A proven
cleaning recommendation for a very dirty bike is as
follows:
1. With a gentle water jet, remove large
items of debris such as soil, stones and
sand etc.
2. Let the bike dry o to a certain extent.
3. Spray your entire bike with a suitable
detergent.
With many detergents and if there is only
a low level of soiling, simply spraying and
rinsing o after the specied time for
them to work is sucient.
You can remove stubborn dirt after the
working time, for example, with a radia-
tor paintbrush before rinsing o.
Danger of material damage!
Cleaning, lubrication and preserving
agents are chemical products.
Incorrect use can damage your bike.
Only use products expressly suitable for
bikes.
Ensure that these products do not attack
either paint, rubber, plastic or metal parts
etc. Consult your dealer.
Follow the respective manufacturer‘s inst-
ructions.
4. Rinse the entire bike with a gentle water
jet and allow it to dry.
5. Clean the chain.
Drip a suitable chain cleaner into a clean,
spirit-free cotton cloth and wipe the chain
down. When doing so, slowly operate the
crank against the direction of drive.
Repeat this process as often as possible with
a clean area of the cloth until the chain is
clean.
Drip a suitable chain cleaner into a clean,
spirit-free cotton cloth and wipe the chain
down.
If cleaner remains between the chain
links, the new grease will be immediately
broken down and will be totally ineec-
tive.
Sparingly apply a lubricant suitable for
bicycle chains to the chain links.
Danger of material damage!
Greases for motor cycle chains will gum
up your bike chain and the drive chain
components.
Only use lubricants expressly approved for
use with bike chains.
1. On carbon saddle post and/or saddle
stem
Apply assembly paste to the saddle post
and to the inside of the seat tube and only
use assembly paste for carbon parts for this
procedure.
Saddle post and seat tube must not be
greased. Only carbon assembly paste may
be used.
Saddle posts made of aluminium may only
be tted using a carbon assembly paste.
2. Push the saddle complete with saddle
post into the frame seat tube until the
desired saddle height is obtained. In this
position the lower end of the saddle post
must be a minimum of 10 cm below the
lower edge of the top tube.
Do not rely on the marking on the saddle
post.
To check the correct insertion distance:
hold a nger tip against the saddle post
when tted directly above the clamp.
Keep your nger tip in this position and
withdraw the saddle post from the seat
tube.
Hold the saddle post laterally beside the
seat tube so that your nger is again level
and directly above the clamp.
In this position the lower end of the
saddle post must be a minimum of 10 cm
below the lower edge of the top tube.
3. Turn the saddle so that the saddle points
in the direction of travel.
4. Ensure that the clamp is ush in the frame
and that the seat tube slots and the clamp
are covered.
5. Close the quick release as per Chapter 8.8
or tighten the Allen screw with a torque
wrench.
Please observe assembly instructions and
the specied torque in the accompanying
parts instructions indicated in table 3.3.
Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
An over-tightened carbon bre saddle
post can break when riding and lead to
dangerous riding situations, falling, acci-
dents and material damage.
The seat tube clamp must be tightened rm-
ly in order to prevent the saddle post from
lowering into the frame or laterally twisting
during the ride.
If the saddle post does not remain in the
desired position, even though you have
reached the maximum admissible tighte-
ning torque, please consult your specialist
dealer immediately.
Please observe assembly instructions and
the specied torque in the accompanying
parts instructions

tions against the direction of drive.
When using again, carry out a check as
described in Chapter 7.
Clean and lubricate your chain as descri-
bed after every ride in wet conditions and
every extended ride on a sandy subsur-
face and at the latest every 200 km.
Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
If too much lubricant is used it can drip
onto the rim and brake disk and contami-
nate them.
This will reduce the eectiveness of the
brakes
Remove excessive lubricant on the chain
using a clean, dry and spirit-free cotton
cloth.
Clean the rim and brake disk with a suita-
ble degreasing agent. Please consult your
dealer.
Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
If wax polish spray or a preserving agent
gets onto the rim or brake disks and/
or brake blocks, the eectiveness of the
brakes will be reduced.
Clean these parts with a suitable degreasing
agent. Consult your specialist dealer.
6. Clean any remaining very dirty parts by

Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
Worn parts and unrepaired damage can
lead to dangerous riding situations, falls,
injuries and property damage.
Regularly maintain and service your bicycle.
Take your bicycle to a specialist workshop at
the compulsory maintenance intervals.
Only this way, worn parts and possible
damages can be discovered and repaired.
Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
Compared to adults, children and juveni-
les often use their bicycles in a way that
damages the material and parts more
quickly.
Take bicycles of children and juveniles which
are frequently used to a specialist workshop
for inspection every 6 months.
