▪Pedelec/S-Pedelec: Practice riding with the assist
function in a safe place before venturing into
trac. Ride in the lowest assist mode until you feel
condent enough to try the higher modes. Dismount
if you ever feel unsafe.
▪Practise braking in a safe place before venturing
into road trac 23. Brakes Page EN-32.
▪ Adapt your riding style to the prevailing trac
conditions. Bear in mind that longer braking
distances are needed on wet or icy roads. Think
ahead in such circumstances, anticipating the
actions of other road users, and reduce your speed.
▪Avoid sudden jerky movements of the handlebars
and braking actions. Dismount if you ever feel
unsafe.
▪Be ready to brake, particularly in situations with
poor visibility, and when riding downhill.
▪ Never ride "hands free". You may suer a serious
fall, and will also be committing a misdemeanour, as
you are required by law to always have at least one
hand on the handlebars 7.4 Rules of conduct on the
Internet Page EN-14.
▪ Concentrate on the trac. Do not let yourself
become distracted by the display or your
smartphone. We do not recommend listening to
music on headphones while riding.
▪Only use original replacement parts when replacing
components and consumer parts. In addition to
original replacement parts, you may also use
compatible components that have been expressly
approved by us.
▪Replace any damaged or bent components before
using the bike again. Not doing so can lead to the
failure of essential parts.
Serious falls and accidents caused by detached or
broken components.
▪Have all assembly and adjustment work done in a
specialist workshop. If you must
attach anything yourself, use an
appropriate torque wrench and
be sure to comply with the speci-
ed tightening torques 13.

6.3 Carbon: general safety information
Carbon is a material which is rust-free, very light and
stable, but which does however require special care.
Typical components made from carbon bre can for
example include handlebars, front stems, seat posts and
saddle rails, cranks, frames and forks. Let your dealer
show you how to deal with this material.
Warnings
Serious falls and accidents caused by broken
components.
▪Carbon components must no longer be used if they
are cracked or broken.
▪Never expose carbon components to high
temperatures! Temperatures which are detrimental
to the safety of components can be reached even
in a vehicle left in strong sunlight. If you are not
absolutely sure about the intact condition of a
carbon component, have the aected part checked at
a specialist workshop, and replaced if necessary.
Caution
Slight injury caused by carbon splinters.
▪ Carbon bres are very thin and hard. Damaged
carbon parts should therefore be handled with great
care. Individual bres can peel o and protrude. You
run the risk of injury from small splinters, should
these come into contact with your skin.
7. Legal requirements for use on public
roads
If you use your bicycle on public roads, you must
satisfy legal requirements. Violations are classed as
misdemeanours, and are punishable by nes. The following
regulations, inter alia, were applicable at the time that
these operating instructions were prepared (06/2021):
7.1 Bicycle (motorless)/Pedelec
In Europe, Pedelecs are legally classied as bicycles
with no motor if the motor has a rated continuous output
of 250 Watt, supporting pedalling up to approximately
25 km/h before switching o support at speeds in excess
of this. Therefore, Pedelecs and their riders on public roads
are subject to the same requirements as motorless bicycles.
So, you don’t need a driving licence, or insurance for
your Pedelec. While there is no legal obligation to wear a
helmet, you should always wear a suitable helmet for your
own safety when underway.
7.1.1 Operating regulations
If you want to ride on a public road, your bicycle
(motorless) or Pedelec must at least be tted with the
following components:
▪Brake system
▪Bell
▪Lighting device
In Germany, for example, the following lighting devices
are required (StVZO §67): One white spotlight, one red rear
light, two yellow reectors on each of the pedals and two
yellow reectors per wheel (alternatively, white reecting
rings on the tyres or rims).
In addition, further requirements are covered in
national legislation governing operating regulations
7.3 Operating regulations on the Internet Page EN-14.
If components which are required by law in your country
are not tted to your bicycle, you must retrot these
before travelling on public roads.
7.1.2 Rules of conduct
If you travel on public roads with your bicycle (motorless)/
Pedelec, you must also comply with certain rules as a rider.
In addition to specic national requirements, 7.4 Rules
of conduct on the Internet Page EN-14 these normally include:
▪Due consideration for other road users.
▪ Do not ride under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.
▪Do not ride “hands free”.
▪ Stop when the trac light is red.
▪Use cycle paths.
▪Always ride on the proper side
of the road. However, if a cycle
path is only available on the
other side of the street and
this is marked with a trac
sign with a bicycle, you must
use this.
7.2 S-Pedelec
In Europe, S-Pedelecs are legally classied as Class L1e
mopeds. The operating and behavioural regulations
applicable on public roads dier from those for motorless
bicycles and Pedelecs:
7.2.1 Operating regulations
If you want to use your S-Pedelec on public roads,
you must satisfy the following, inter alia:
▪ You require an EU Certicate of Conformity
4.4 S-Pedelec: EU Certificate of Conformity Page EN-10.
▪Riders must have insurance. An illuminated (insurance)
number plate is also required.
▪You need a Class AM driving licence at least.
▪ A horn, mirror and side stand must be tted to the
S-Pedelec.
▪ The S-Pedelec must be tted with a white spotlight and
red rear light. The spotlight and rear light must always
be lit while riding. Two yellow reectors must also be
tted to each of the pedals and two yellow reectors per
wheel (alternatively, white reecting rings on the tyres
or rims). In addition, S-Pedelecs also require yellow side
reectors, which are normally tted to the fork.

In addition, further requirements are covered in national
legislation governing operating regulations 7.3 Operating
regulations on the Internet Page EN-14. If components which
are required by law in your country are not tted to your
bicycle, you must retrot these before travelling on public
roads.
7.2.2 Rules of conduct
If you travel on public roads with your S-Pedelec, you must
also comply with certain rules as a rider. In addition to
specic national requirements, 7.4 Rules of conduct on
the Internet Page EN-14 these normally include:
▪A helmet must be worn. We recommend an NTA 8776
standard-compliant helmet.
▪Due consideration for other road users.
▪ Do not ride under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.
▪ Stop when the trac light is red.
▪Only use cycle paths in built-
up areas when riding without
motor support, or a Mopeds
allowed sign allows this.
Otherwise, you must ride on the
road. Outside of town, you must
use the cycle paths with your
S-Pedelec. A No mopeds sign will indicate when this is
not allowed.

8. Pedelec/S-Pedelec: range
Because a variety of factors aect range, no exact
prediction is possible. The following generally applies: The
greater the power consumption, the shorter the range. If
you want to go on a longer trip, it is worth taking a spare
battery or charger with you. The following factors may have
a powerful impact on range:
▪The selected assist mode: The highest assist mode
uses the most power, which reduces range. Vary the
assist modes you use. If there is a tailwind when going
downhill or on at surfaces, you can still go fast with a
lower assist mode.
▪Switchingbehaviour: A low pedalling speed combined
with high gears results in a high power consumption.
Switch smoothly to a low gear in good time to maintain
constant cadence, especially when starting 24. Bicycle
shifter Page EN-37.
▪Ridingbehaviourandtheassociatednumberofstarts:
If you accelerate, you will use more power. So, travel at
a constant speed, and change gears smoothly. Constant
stopping and starting also reduces range. Think ahead
when riding!
▪Roadproleandconditions: You will need to pedal
harder when cycling uphill or when the road is uneven.
This is registered by the power sensor, which in turn
requires the motor to work harder.
▪Headwind and ambient temperature: A headwind will
also require you to pedal harder. The motor must
therefore provide greater assistance. Range also
decreases with the outdoor temperature. Therefore,
(e.g., in winter) you should insert the battery just before
starting o with your Pedelec.
▪Total weight: The lower the overall weight on the cycle
12. Permissible total weight Page EN-19, the "easier" it
is to ride it.
▪Seating position: Make sure that you are seated in a
comfortable position that is suitable for you, so that
you can cover longer distances with minimum eort. In
this way, you will be able to increase your range, as the
e-system will need to provide less assistance 14.4
Configuring the individual settings Page EN-21.
▪The rolling resistance of the tyres: The condition of
your tyres will aect rolling resistance. This arises
when the tyres deform as they roll. Power is lost in
the process. Tyre pressure has the greatest impact on
rolling resistance. If the pressure is too high or too low,
resistance increases when underway, and the motor
must provide greater assistance 28.1 Checking tyre
pressure Page EN-54. Diameter, width and prole also
inuence rolling resistance, however.
▪The condition of the bicycle: The better the condition
of your bicycle, the better it will be to ride. Therefore,
observe the maintenance intervals
39. Maintenance intervals Page EN-65.
▪The bicycle model: Even if the drive system is the same,
dierent bicycle models can have dierent ranges. This
can for example depend on the components installed.
Even on identical bicycles, the tolerances of system
components can lead to small dierences in power
consumption.
▪Charging a smartphone: If you connect a smartphone to
your display to charge it, this will use additional power.
▪Age and condition of the battery: A much shorter service
life after the charging process indicates that the battery
has lost considerable (storage) capacity. You may
require a new battery. Contact your specialist workshop
about this. Also observe the notices on battery use in the
system operating instructions 4.2 Pedelec/S-Pedelec:
Original operating instructions – System Page EN-10.
EN-16 Originalbetriebsanleitung Allgemein
9. Description of your bicycle
9.1 Bicycle (motorless)
A bicycle is a vehicle with a minimum of two wheels,
usually one behind the other. It is powered exclusively
by stepping on pedals, i.e., by the muscle strength of the
person riding it.
9.2 Pedelec
A Pedelec is an electrically powered assisted bicycle, or
EPAC (electrically power assisted cycle). When the assist
mode is switched on, the electric drive provides assistance
as long as you are pedalling. You can control the degree of
assistance, which is adjusted using various assist modes
4.2 Pedelec/S-Pedelec: Original operating instructions –
System Page EN-10. The drive assistance is dependent on
the force and speed of your pedalling and the speed you
are travelling. Drive assistance stops as soon as you stop
pedalling and when the battery is discharged or if you
reach a speed of 25 km/h. Thus pedalling harder is required
if you want to travel faster than 25 km/h.
9.3 S-Pedelec
From a legal standpoint, the S-Pedelec is a Class L1e
moped. It may not travel at over 20 km/h using motor
assistance only. You can only reach speeds in excess of
this by combining the power of the motor with your own
physical strength. As soon as you reach close to 45 km/h,
the motor assistance switches o.
10. Frame marking
There are various markings on the bicycle frame which are
either stamped or glued on. You will nd out more about
this below. Please do not remove these markings.
10.1 Frame number
The frame number is a specic code
which is stamped into the frame.
This helps to identify the bicycle in
the event that it is stolen. It is best
to write down the frame number
immediately after buying the bicycle.
If you cannot nd the frame number,
ask your specialist workshop or take a
look at the brand website.
10.2 S-Pedelec: VIN
The Vehicle Identication Number
(VIN) allows every S-Pedelec to be uniquely identied. You
will nd the VIN on the right side of the seat tube in the
direction of travel, as well as on the manufacturer’s plate

o the pedals.
▪First practice clicking into the pedal and releasing
the shoe from the pedal while standing.
▪Read the pedal and shoe manufacturer’s operating
instructions 5. Component guides Page EN-10.
Clipless pedals enable a rm connection between the foot
and pedal. Clipless pedal systems are primarily used in the
racing bike and MTB eld.
14.2 Lights
Warning
Serious accidents caused by lack of lighting.
▪A failure or malfunction of the lighting device can
lead to serious accidents when riding in the dark.
Have any faults rectied at a specialist workshop
before riding again.
14.2.1 Fitting lighting
Equip your bicycle in accordance with the provisions in the
country in which you want to ride 7. Legal requirements
for use on public roads Page EN-13. If the reectors are
supplied unassembled, you can t these by holding them
from the outside between two spokes and then moving
them inwards until they click onto both spokes.
14.2.2 Bicycles: switching the
lightsonando
Our motorless bicycles are usually tted with a hub
dynamo. These are located on the hub of the front wheel,
and generate electricity while you ride. On certain models,
you can operate the lighting using an on/o switch on the
spotlight. This also switches the rear light on or o at the
same time.
14.2.3 Pedelecs/S-Pedelecs: switching the
lightsonandoand/orcontinuouslighting
requirement
Pedelecs and S-Pedelecs get the
power for their lighting from
the e-system. This is usually
switched on and o using the
display and control element. On
S-Pedelecs, however, the lighting
cannot be switched o. These are
subject to a continuous lighting
requirement. Please also note the
explanations in 4.2 Pedelec/S-
Pedelec: Original operating
instructions – System Page EN-10.
Certain models also come with a button on the handlebars
with which to switch high beam on and o. Even when
motor assistance is no longer possible, a certain amount
of residual current will still be available for the lighting.
You should, however, ensure that you do not suddenly nd
yourself in the dark without a light, e.g., by always having
a spare battery or planning your trip in such a way that the
battery can be recharged on the way.
14.3 Replacement bulbs
The replacement bulbs you will need depend on the lighting
device tted on your bike. The table below tells you what
type of light you will need:
Fig. 14 High beam

Examine surfaces for changes
(chipping, deep scratches, holes).
Check the strength of the frame and
components.
Pay attention to unusual noises, such
as creaking or cracking.
16. Bicycle frame
Warnings
Serious falls and accidents caused by broken
components.
▪Never ride with a bent or cracked frame.
▪After any accident or fall, you should have your
bicycle checked by a specialist workshop before
riding it again. Undetected faults can lead to
accidents.
The shape of the frame depends on the type and function of
the bicycle. Frames are made from a variety of materials,
such as steel or aluminium alloys, or carbon (carbon bre).
If you own a carbon frame, be sure to read 6.3 Carbon:
general safety information Page EN-13.
16.1 Aluminium and steel frames: rollers
Use with Pedelecs and S-Pedelecs is not approved. Rollers
with rear-wheel axle clamping can be used with motorless
bicycles with an aluminium or steel frame. If the rear wheel
of the bicycle is tted with an R.A.T. through-axle, this can
only be secured to the roller using an adapter. You can get
the correct axle nut from your specialist workshop.
16.2 Carbon frame: rollers
Notice
Do not clamp a carbon frame in a roller using rear
wheel axle clamping. Carbon frames are normally not
designed to withstand this kind of force, and can be
damaged by the roller. There are exceptions, however.
Ask at your specialist workshop or consult the brand
website to nd out whether it is possible to use a roller
with your bicycle.
16.3 Carbon frame: assembly stand
If you want to x your carbon frame in an assembly stand,
only clamp it to the seat post, as the clamping mechanism
may otherwise cause visible or hidden damage to the frame
6.3 Carbon: general safety information Page EN-13.
If your bicycle is tted with a carbon seat post, we
recommend tting an aluminium or steel post for this work.
16.4 Frame with rear suspension
Here, the rear of the main frame is not rigid, but is mounted
so that it can move, and is sprung and dampened with a
shock absorber. Ask your specialist workshop to adjust the
elastic mounts.
Information
The dealer should have adjusted the suspension for
you during delivery. It is possible that your bicycle and
the seating position may look and feel dierent when
riding than what you are used to. The shock absorber
must be tuned so that it responds gently but does not
bottom out when you ride over an obstacle. To do this,
it should sink a little when you sit on your bicycle.
Fig. 15 Frame with suspension
16.5 Cleaning and care
Use a soft brush to clean debris o your bicycle. Be careful
not to scratch the frame. Stubborn dirt can be removed
with a sponge and water or bicycle cleaner. Under no
circumstances should you use a high-pressure cleaner for
cleaning. This could damage the electronic components.
If your frame is tted with elastic mounts, you can clean
these regularly with a slightly damp cloth. Paint damage
and rust spots should be repaired in your specialist
workshop.
EN-24 Originalbetriebsanleitung Allgemein
17.1 Setting the height of the seat
Warning
Serious falls due to a bent or broken seat post.
▪The seat post must be inser-
ted into the seat tube to a
depth of at least 10 cm. The
10 cm minimum insertion
depth also applies if a lower
minimum insertion depth
is given in the component
operating instructions or on
the seat post itself.
10 cm
Fig. 17
Minimum insertion depth
You can adjust the height of the seat using the seat post.
The seat post is inserted into the seat tube of the bicycle
and is secured there with an external or built-in seat post
clamp. The seat post clamp is then tensioned either with
one or two seat post clamp screws or with a quick-release
skewer with tensioning lever.

1. Open the tensioning lever by folding it by 180˚.
OPEN must now be visible.
2. Move the seat post into the right position.
3. Close the tensioning lever by swinging the lever by
180˚. CLOSE should now be visible. The lever should
be very easy to move from the beginning of the closing
movement up to halfway. Then, the force required to
move the lever must signicantly increase until the
lever is very dicult to move at the end.
4. a) If the quick-release skewer closes too easily, the
pre-tension must be increased: To do this, open the
tensioning lever and slide the seat post into the
desired position. Then, hold the tensioning lever and
turn the clamping nut on the opposite side clockwise.
Check whether the correct pre-tensioning has been
achieved by closing the tensioning lever.
b) If the quick-release skewer is too dicult to
close, the pre-tension must be reduced: To do this,
open the tensioning lever and slide the seat post
into the desired position. Then, hold the tensioning
lever and turn the clamping nut on the opposite
side counterclockwise. Check whether the correct
pre-tensioning has been achieved by closing the
tensioning lever.
5. Close the tensioning lever. The lever must be
positioned in such a way that it cannot be opened
accidentally.
6. Try to twist the saddle to check that it is rmly xed.
17.2 Lowerable seat post
Warning
Serious falls due to locked rear wheel.
▪ Before your rst ride, check whether the rear wheel
is locked by the lowering of the seat post. If the
saddle comes into contact with the rear wheel in its
lowest position, the insertion depth of the seat post
must be reduced. Make sure, however, that the seat
post is inserted at least 10 cm into the seat tube.
Information
If you want to retrot a lowerable seat post to your bi-
cycle at a later stage, it is possible that the tightening
torques for the seat post clamping screw(s) are lower
than the values given on the seat post clamp or in the
component operating instructions.
Adjustment screw
Screw
Fig. 20 Lowerable seat post Fig. 21 Control element

If your bicycle is tted with a lowerable seat post, you can
adjust the height of the seat post while riding. This is done
using the control element on the handlebars. Pressing the
lever either raises or lowers the seat post. Releasing the
lever locks the seat post in the corresponding position.
17.2.1 Positioning the control element
1. Loosen the screw on the control element by turning it
two to three turns anticlockwise.
2. Position the control element in the desired position.
3. Tighten the screw again by rotating it clockwise to
the specied torque using a torque wrench 13.
Tightening torques for threaded connections Page EN-19.
17.2.2 Changingtheleverpressure
If the lever is very dicult to press, it can make sense to
decrease the cable tension:
1. Turn the adjustment screw one or two turns
counterclockwise to decrease the tension.
If the lever is too easy to push and it is actuated too easily,
it can make sense to increase the tensile stress:
2. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the
tension.
17.3 Suspension seat post
Ask your cycle dealer to adjust the suspension elements
of the seat post.

18. Adjusting the position and angle of
the saddle
Warnings
Serious falls due to incorrect adjustments.
▪We recommend leaving all assembly and adjustment
work to a specialist workshop. If you want to screw
something on by yourself, be sure to observe
13. Tightening torques for threaded connections
Page EN-19.
Serious falls due to breaking seat stays.
▪Never clamp the saddle in the curve of the saddle
rail; always do it in the straight section. Only shift
the saddle within the straight section and within the
marking.
Serious falls because the clamping screws are torn from
the nuts.
▪Screw the clamping screws fully in a straight
position in the nuts.
A bicycle saddle consists of a rear main seat surface and a
front saddle nose. The saddle is usually secured to the seat
post using one or two clamping screws. You can adjust the
position and angle of the saddle by loosening and tighten-
ing the clamping screw(s).
17.3.1 Suspension adjustment screw
If the suspension adjustment screw protrudes from the seat
post, it is important to correct this:

17.4 Cleaning and care
Dirt often collects on the seat post and the upper area of
the seat tube. Clean both with a slightly damp cloth. You
may need to remove the seat post to do this. If you own a
bicycle with an aluminium frame and aluminium seat post,
you can coat the interior of the seat tube with a thin coat
of suitable grease. Please use an appropriate carbon paste
on carbon or aluminium frames with a carbon or aluminium
seat post. Ask your specialist workshop if you are unsure
what grease or carbon paste to use.

19.1 Adjusting the position of the handlebars
Your arms should be slightly bent when cycling in order not
to overstretch your wrists when holding the handlebars.
Make adjustments as required if you notice after a while
that the position of the handlebars does not suit your
riding style.
Warning
Impaired function due to damaged and/or clamped
cables.
▪ If control elements, brake and gear levers are not
adjusted to the new handlebar position, rotating
the handlebars can cause damage to cables that are
routed through the inside of the front stem.
You can adjust the position of the handlebar by turning the
handlebars. The procedure is almost identical for all front
stem systems:
1. Loosen the screws on the front/top of the front stem by
turning these counterclockwise with an Allen key.
Screws
Fig. 30 Possible screw arrangement
2. Turn the handlebars until these reach a position that
you nd comfortable. Ensure that the handlebars are
clamped exactly centrally in the front stem.
3. Now, tighten the screws again clockwise alternately
and crosswise using a torque wrench 13. Tightening
torques for threaded connections Page EN-19. Once you
have adjusted the position of the handlebar, you will
need to adjust the control elements, brake and gear
levers as required 23.4 Brake lever(s) Page EN-34,
24.1 Adjusting the position of the control elements

19.2 Adjusting the angle of the handlebars
On angle-adjustable front stems, the angle of the
handlebars can be adjusted using a screw in the front stem.
The value of the selected angle is often indicated on the
component. When adjusting the angle of the handlebars,
you should also ensure that holding the handlebars does
not overstretch your wrists.

19.3 Adjusting the height of the handlebars
How to determine the optimal handlebar height for your
body size:
1. Sit on the saddle and at the same time, lean against
a wall.
2. Lean your upper body towards the handlebars until
you nd a position that is comfortable for your back.
3. Extend your arms towards the handlebars.
4. Make a note of the approximate position of your hands
so that you can adjust the handlebars to this height.
19.3.1 Straight front stems: adjusting the
height of the handlebars
Warning
Serious falls due to a detaching, bending or breaking
front stem.
▪The front stem is marked with the maximum distance
that it can be drawn out of the fork steerer. Never
pull the seat post further out of the fork steerer than
the marking. If you cannot nd any marking, insert
the front stem to a depth of at least 6.5 cm in the
fork steerer.
1. Loosen the front stem spindle by turning it two or
three turns counterclockwise with an Allen key. To
prevent the bicycle fork from moving when loosening
the front stem spindle, grip the front wheel with your
knees.
Fig. 33 Front stem spindle
2. Take hold of the handlebars by the grips and turn them
alternately to the left and right. If this is not possible,
strike the front stem spindle gently from above with
a plastic hammer until the clamping device inside the
front stem releases.
3. Draw the front stem out of the fork steerer tube to the
desired height, but not higher than permitted.
4. Align the front stem with the front wheel so that they
form a right angle.
5. To secure the front stem again, tighten the front stem
spindle clockwise to the specied torque using a
torque wrench 13. Tightening torques for threaded
connections Page EN-19.
19.3.2 Ahead front stems: adjusting the
height of the handlebars
For Ahead front stems, any adjustment to the height of the
handlebars must be made by a specialist workshop.
19.4 Cleaning and care
The handlebars and front stem can be easily cleaned with a
slightly damp cloth.
20. Adjusting the position of the position
of the handlebar grips
The handlebar grips are tted to the ends of the bicycle
handlebars. They aect riding comfort and your health.
If your hands or wrists hurt after longer rides, it makes
sense to change the position of, or replace, the handlebar
grips. To replace the grips, contact your specialist
workshop. Models are available with and without threaded
connections. Grips with no threaded connection cannot be
easily adjusted, as they usually clamp very rmly onto the
ends of the handlebars. You should also contact a specialist
workshop about this, as attempting to change the position
of the grips can damage them. Screw grips are secured to
the handlebar with screws on the inside and outside, which
can be used to adjust the grips.

2. Turn the bicycle grip to the desired position. Ensure
that it ts completely onto the end of the handlebar.
3. Tighten the screw(s) clockwise to the specied torque
using a torque wrench 13. Tightening torques for
threaded connections Page EN-19.
20.2 Cleaning and care
Rubber and cork grips can be easily cleaned with soapy
water.
21. Checking and adjusting bearing play
Warning
▪Serious falls due to lack of bicycle control.
Riding with a loose headset can damage the ball
sockets or fork. If the headset is too tight, the
bicycle will be dicult to steer, and the ball sockets
will wear out more quickly. A normally adjusted
headset can be turned easily. There must not be
any loose movement, however. Contact a specialist
workshop if you feel that the headset is not set
correctly.
The headset connects the fork to the frame. It holds the
fork steerer in the head tube in such a way that it can be
steered. It consists of an upper and lower ball socket and
bearings, and other associated parts.
There are two dierent types of headset: The rst is the
screw-in headset, where the upper ball socket is screwed
onto the fork steerer and secured using a lock nut. The
other is the Ahead headset. Ahead headsets are available
in dierent versions. For example, one version has an
adjustment screw located in the cover cap, which is
countered with a star fangled nut. Or with an adjustment
screw in the threaded ring.

21.1 Checking the bearing play
Proceed as follows to check whether the headset is too
loose:
1. Grip the upper ball socket with your thumb and
forenger.
2. Actuate the front brake with your left hand and move
the bicycle gently forwards and backwards.
3. If the headset is too loose, there will be signicant
jerking on the upper ball socket.
4. If you feel jerking in the upper ball socket, the bearing
play must be reduced.
A headset that is too tight will be sti:
1. Lift the bicycle by its frame so that the front wheel is
o the ground.
2. If the handlebars only move sluggishly and unequally
from one side to the other, the bearing play must be
increased.
21.2 Adjusting a screw headset
1. Loosen the lock nut by turning this counterclockwise
using a wrench.
2. To reduce the bearing play, turn the upper ball socket
clockwise using a wrench. To increase the bearing
play, turn the upper ball socket counterclockwise
using a wrench.
3. Hold the upper ball socket with a wrench so that the
bearing play does not change again.
4. Now, tighten the lock nut again by turning this
clockwise using a wrench 13. Tightening torques for
threaded connections Page EN-19.
5. Check the bearing play again 21.1 Checking the
bearing play Page EN-31 and adjust as required.
21.3 Adjusting Ahead headsets
21.3.1 Ahead headset I
To adjust the bearing play on this type of headset, the front
stem must be readjusted. You should therefore contact your
specialist workshop for this adjustment work.
1. Loosen the clamping screws counterclockwise.
2. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to reduce the
bearing play.
3. Once the bearing play is set correctly, centre and
secure the front stem by tightening the clamping
screws clockwise to the specied tightening torque
using a torque wrench 13. Tightening torques for
threaded connections Page EN-19.
21.3.2 Ahead headset II
To adjust the bearing play for this type of headset, there is
no need to readjust the front stem, which means that you
can perform this adjustment yourself, if you think you can.
Reducing the bearing play:
1. To reduce the bearing play, turn the adjustment screw
clockwise. The plastic tab in the setting window will
move to the left.
2. If the bearing play is still too high and the plastic tab
has already reached the end of the setting window,
turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise until the
plastic tab once again reaches the start of the setting
window.
3. Loosen the clamping screw on the clamping ring by
turning it counterclockwise a few turns.
4. Then, push the clamping ring towards the head tube.
Align the clamping and threaded rings on the front
stem.
5. Tighten the clamping screw clockwise to the specied
tightening torque using a torque wrench.
6. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise until the desired
bearing play is reached.
7. The clamping ring should t ush beneath the front
stem. If the front stem must be readjusted in order to
achieve this, please contact your specialist workshop
about this.
Increasing bearing play:
1. To increase the bearing play, turn the adjustment
screw counterclockwise. The plastic tab will move to
the right at the same time.
22. Bicycle fork
The front wheel is held in place by the
bicycle fork. The bicycle fork consists of
two fork blades, a fork bridge and a fork
steerer tube. If you own a carbon fork, be
sure to read 6.3 Carbon: general safety
information Page EN-13. The majority of
bicycles are tted with suspension forks.
Suspension forks are often adjustable, and
oer greater riding comfort.
Fig. 38
Suspension fork
EN-32 Originalbetriebsanleitung Allgemein
22.1 Suspension fork
Warning
Serious falls due to lack of control.
▪Only make adjustments while riding if you have a
remote switch on the handlebars.
Compression and rebound rates cannot be adjusted on all
suspension forks.
22.1.1 Adjusting the compression rate
The compression rate refers to the speed at which a spring
is compressed. To adjust the compression rate, move the
control dial to increase (e.g., - ) or decrease compression
speed (e.g., +).
22.1.2 Adjusting the rebound rate
Rebound describes the speed at which a spring expands.
To adjust the rebound, turn the adjustment wheel on
the underside of the fork to the open position (= higher
rebound speed) or closed position (= lower rebound
speed).
22.1.3 Locking the suspension
Warning
Serious falls due to a broken fork.
▪ Do not lock the suspension when riding o-road.
This can damage the suspension forks.
It is possible to lock the suspension on some suspension
forks. There are some riding situations where that can be
useful. For example, if you are riding up a hill or if you are
standing up from the saddle when accelerating. To switch
the suspension to a xed position, simply move the control
dial or remote switch on the handlebars on the fork in the
appropriate direction (e.g. marked ‘Lock’, ). To activate
the suspension again, move the control/remote switch to
OPEN.
22.1.4 Adjusting the air pressure
On some suspension forks it is possible to alter the air
pressure. You will need assistance from your cycle dealer
to do this, or if you feel condent of doing it yourself,
a suspension fork pump with a pressure gauge and the
suspension fork manufacturer's installation manual. The
valve with cap (e.g. marked ‘AIR’) is usually located on the
left-hand side of the fork.
22.2 Care and maintenance
Clean the outside of the fork and suspension elements
regularly with a slightly damp cloth.
23. Brakes
Warnings
Seriousfallsandaccidentscausedbyinsucient
bicycle control.
▪Only ride the bicycle if you can safely reach the
brake levers. Your dealer can change the position,
angle and lever width of the brake levers. On many
models, the position of the pressure point can also
be adjusted.
▪ Before taking your rst ride, check which brake grip
actuates which brake. If you are used to a dierent
arrangement, have your dealer rearrange the brake
levers before you set o.
▪ As every bicycle can react dierently depending on
its model, you should familiarise yourself with the
right braking technique. Practise braking in a safe
place before venturing into road trac. Practise until
you feel safe. Dismount if you ever feel unsafe.
Warnings
Seriousfallsandaccidentscausedbyinsucient
bicycle control.
▪If you notice that the braking force is too high or too
low, stop using the bicycle and contact a specialist
workshop.
▪In wet conditions, braking distances with rim brakes
increase by up to 40%. Braking values are almost
identical for disc and hub brakes. Be careful, because
tyres have less grip on the road in wet conditions.
Adapt your riding style to outdoor conditions.
▪Luggage alters the handling characteristics of the
bike. The braking distance becomes longer, thus,
you should start braking earlier, and the steering
response becomes more sluggish. Adapt your riding
style accordingly 30. Luggage rack Page EN-59.
Serious falls and accidents caused by an incorrect
assessmentofbrakingbehaviour.
▪Do not apply the front brake too hard, as the front
wheel can lock up and cause a fall.
Serious falls and accidents caused by faulty brakes.
▪Be careful not to get oil or grease on the brake pads
and brake surfaces. This can aect the functionality
of the brakes. Have components which have come
into contact with oil or grease replaced.
▪Hydraulic brakes: Do not use the hydraulic brakes in
the event of uid leaks. Go to a specialist workshop
to have the problem sorted out.
▪Have all work on brake systems done in a specialist
workshop.
Originalbetriebsanleitung Allgemein EN-33
Information
Pedelec/S-Pedelec: Your Pedelec/S-Pedelec does not
have an emergency stop button. You must activate
the brakes to stop the cycle quickly in a dangerous
situation. The maximum brake force is greater than
the propulsion force possible. This means stopping is
guaranteed at all times by pressing the brakes. Note
that the drive system does not disable automatically
after braking. Once you have nished your ride, switch
the drive system to standstill.
You can use the bicycle brakes to slow down and/or bring
your bicycle to a stop. In Germany, bicycles must have two
independent brakes: front and rear wheel brakes. These can
be actuated either by pedalling backwards (coaster brakes)
or by hand (handbrakes). If there are two brake levers on
the bicycle, the left-hand brake lever is usually for the front
brake, and the right-hand brake lever for the rear brake.
This is exactly the reverse in Australia and Great Britain,
where the brake lever for the front brake is on the right,
and that for the rear brake on the left. There are basically
three types of braking systems: hub brakes, rim brakes and
disc brakes. Each braking system can in turn be broken
down into dierent types. Rim and disc brakes can work
either mechanically – the braking force is transmitted via
a Bowden cable – or hydraulically – the braking force is
transmitted via a liquid. Hydraulic brakes usually work
using pistons which actuate the brake discs symmetrically
from both sides.

Rim Brake disc
23.1 Coaster brakes
Warning
Serious falls and accidents caused by reduced braking
power.
▪Avoid using the coaster brake continuously on long
downhill stretches, as the internal brake parts can
become very hot, leading to a reduction in braking
power. On long, steep descents, mainly use the
front brake and the manually activated rear brake
if available, to allow the coaster brake to cool. An
extremely overheated coaster brake (discolouration
and grease leaks) must be checked in a specialist
workshop.
Caution
Burns from touching the brake drum.
▪As the brake drum can become very hot during
extended braking, you should wait for at least
30 minutes after your ride before touching it.
Coaster brakes are a kind of hub brake. If your bicycle is
tted with a coaster brake, you will need to step backwards
on the pedals to brake. Coaster brakes are activated to a
varying degree depending on the position of your feet and/
or the pedal arms. If the crank arms are vertical, i.e. one of
your feet is directly above the other on the pedals, you will
not be able to brake hard. Position the crank arms horizon-
tally if you want or have to be ready to brake. The braking
power is transferred from your foot over the chain to the
braking system. If you feel that the power of the coaster
brake is decreasing, please contact your dealer.
Fig. 41 Actuating the coaster brake
23.2 Rim brakes
Rim brakes are positioned on the fork and/or the rear frame.
When braking, the brake lining is pressed directly onto the
side of the wheel rim. The brake pads are usually made of
a rubber compound. There are mechanical side-pull brakes,
centre-pull brakes and hydraulic rim brakes, inter alia.
Front mechanical rim brakes can be tted with a braking
power modulator. This prevents the front wheel from
locking if braking too hard.

23.3 Disc brakes
Warnings
Serious falls and accidents caused by reduced braking
power.
▪Avoid using disc brakes continuously on long
downhill stretches. It is better to brake in interrupted
cycles.
▪Have the brake disc replaced immediately if it is
cracked or deformed, and do not use the bicycle.
Caution

the brake discs
Burns from touching the brake discs.
▪As the brake disc can become very hot during
extended braking, you should wait for at least
30 minutes after your ride before touching it.
Injury from touching the rotating brake discs.
▪ Please keep your ngers away from rotating brake
discs. The brake disc is so sharp that it will cause
severe injuries to your ngers if you get them caught
in the brake disc openings.
When braking, the brake pads mounted on the brake
calliper press on a brake disc which is mounted on the axle
and which rotates with the wheel.

Breaking in new disc brakes
Full braking power will not yet be available with new disc
brakes! Braking performance will improve as you use the
brakes until the pads on the brake disc are fully broken in.
A few hard stops will accelerate this process.
23.4 Brakelever(s)
Your bicycle is tted with either one or two brake levers.
Pulling the brake levers can slow down and/or bring your
bicycle to a stop. If your bicycle is tted with a coaster
brake and a brake lever, you can actuate the front brake
by pulling the brake lever mounted on the right-hand side
of the handlebars. If two brake levers are tted, you can
actuate the front brake with the left-hand brake lever and
the rear brake with the right-hand brake lever. This is
exactly the reverse in Australia and Great Britain, where
the brake lever for the front brake is on the right, and that
for the rear brake on the left. If you are used to a dierent
arrangement, have your specialist workshop rearrange the
brake levers before you set o. There are brake levers for
one to four ngers. The fewer the ngers used to actuate
the lever, the shorter the lever is.

Ask your specialist workshop to show you exactly how
these brake levers work.
23.4.1 Adjusting the position of the brake

Proceed as follows to adjust the position of the brake levers
on the handlebars:
1. Loosen the fastening screw by turning it one or two
turns counterclockwise.
2. To move the brake grip, move it to the left or right into
the desired position. You may need to move the gear
lever slightly inward 24.3.1.1 Shimano standard
gear lever: version 1 Page EN-39.
3. To adjust the angle of the brake lever, place one or two
ngers on the brake lever. Now turn the grip downward
until your nger, wrist and forearm are in a line.
4. Then, tighten the fastening screw clockwise to
the specied torque using a torque wrench 13.
Tightening torques for threaded connections Page EN-19.

23.4.2 Adjustingtheleverwidth
On most brake levers, the grip width, i.e. the distance
between the lever and the handlebars, can be adjusted
using an adjustment screw. This screw is usually located on
the inside or outside of the brake grip. The distance from
the lever to the handlebars should be large enough that the
lever can accommodate the rst joint of your nger.
1. To reduce the lever width, turn the adjustment
screw clockwise. To increase the lever with, turn the
adjustment screw counterclockwise.
Fig. 49 Lever width adjustment screw
Adjustment screw
23.4.3 Changing the pressure point
The pressure point marks the moment at which the lever
locks when the manual brake is actuated, i.e., when the
brake pads contact the rim (rim brakes) or the brake disc
(disc brakes) and the bicycle brakes. We recommend
setting the pressure point as short as possible, so that you
can use the full braking power before the brake lever rests
on the handlebar grip. Make sure that you are familiar with
the braking eect! The pressure point is too low if you can
pull the brake lever more than half of the lever stroke to the
handlebars before the brakes are applied. We recommend
setting a pressure point at approx. 30% of the lever stroke.
A low pressure point may also be caused by worn brake
pads. Check for wear on the brake pads before adjusting
the brake cable tension for cable brakes 14.5 Practising
braking Page EN-22. To adjust the brake line on hydraulic
rim or disc brakes, get in touch with your specialist
workshop.

23.5 Cable brakes: adjusting the brake cable
tension
Warnings
Serious falls and accidents caused by reduced braking
power.
▪Brake cables are wear parts. Check these for wear
and tear regularly, and replace the brake cables if
necessary.
The brake cable connects the brake lever to the brakes. It
is made of steel or aluminium, and is located in a brake
sleeve. If you have completely applied the hand brake
but do not have full braking force, all you need to do is to
tighten the brake cable, assuming there is little wear on the
brake pads. This reduces the distance between the brake
shoes and rim (rim brakes) or between the brake lining and
brake disc (disc brakes) and compensates for slight wear
on the brake pads. However, if the brake pads are severely
worn, these must be replaced 23.6 Replacing the brake
pads Page EN-36.

Most brake levers have screws to adjust the length and
tension of the brake cables. To adjust the tension, proceed
as follows:
1. Unscrew the lock nut a few turns counterclockwise.
2. Rim brake: To increase the tension, you must now
unscrew the adjustment screw counterclockwise step
by step until the distance between the brake shoes
and rim is 1-2 mm on each side. Make sure that the
brake shoes contact the two sides of the rim or brake
disc at the same time. To reduce the tension, turn the
adjustment screw clockwise.
2. Disc brake: To increase the tension, you must now
unscrew the adjustment screw counterclockwise step
by step until the desired pressure point is reached on
the brakes
23.4.3 Changing the pressure point Page EN-35.
To reduce the tension, turn the adjustment screw
clockwise.
3. Finally, retighten the lock nut clockwise.
If there is still no braking eect, the brake pads probably
need to be replaced

23.6 Replacing the brake pads
Warnings
Serious falls due to lack of bicycle control.
▪The appropriate brake pads must be used in order to
obtain the right friction pairing.
Carbon: Particularly on carbon rims, only pads that
are expressly intended for this purpose may be used.
▪Brake pads may not come into contact with oil
or grease. Otherwise, this will impair braking
performance.
Have the brake pads replaced if they have come into
contact with oil or grease.
▪Do not ride your bicycle if the brake pads are worn
out. Have these replaced in a specialist workshop.
Brake pads are friction agents on brake shoes (rim brakes)
or carrier plates (disc brakes), and are therefore wear
parts. If they are worn out, they must be replaced, as the
braking force decreases as a result of wear. On rim brakes,
you can notice wear as the brake lever must be drawn
further and further towards the handlebars when braking
in order to achieve a braking eect. Brake pad wear on disc
brakes produces a metallic scratching sound, which only
appears when the brake lining is already completely worn

control.
▪If the shifter parts are loose, worn, damaged,
incorrectly adjusted, make unusual noises, the
gearchange does not work properly or other problems
occur, have the shifter checked and if necessary
repaired in a specialist workshop.
You can use the gear shift to change the transmission ratio
of the drive, so that you can ride at a comfortable pace with
less eort. You can change gears by moving the control el-
ements (gear levers, twist grips, buttons, …) on the handle-
bars. The lower the number shown on the control element,
the easier it is to pedal. The higher the number shown on
the control element, the greater the pedalling resistance.
Low gears are useful for riding up a mountain, so that you
can reach the peak with little eort. On a straight level
stretch, medium gears are the right choice to achieve and
maintain a higher speed without having to pedal too much.
High gears are recommended for downhill stretches.

away. It therefore makes sense to perform regular visual
checks of the state of wear. You can recognise the state of
wear with a marking, e.g., grooves in the brake lining. On
Shimano brake shoes, a wear line is visible on the brake
pads. This must not be shorter than a certain minimum
length. With Magura, the grooves in the lining must still be
visible from the outside. If the wear line or grooves are no
longer visible, the brake pads must be replaced. Have this
done in a specialist workshop.

23.7 Cleaning and care
The brake grips can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth.
Rim brake: The rims can be cleaned with a sponge and
soapy water.
Disc brakes: Clean the disc brakes with a sponge and soapy
water. If they are very dirty, we recommend using a little
brake cleaner on a rag.
24.1 Adjusting the position of the control
elements
Information
The gear levers should be positioned at the same angle
as the brake levers.
1. Loosen the fastening screw by turning it one or
two turns counterclockwise.
2. To move the control element, move it to the left or
right into the desired position.
3. To adjust the angle of the control element, place
one or two ngers on the gear lever. Now turn the
grip downward until your nger, wrist and forearm
are in a line.

control.
▪Avoid continuously riding using the smallest
chainring at the front in combination with the
smallest sprocket at the rear. Similarly, avoid riding
with the largest chainring at the front with the largest
sprocket at the rear. The high levels of skew will
cause increased wear.
▪Shift gears carefully and in small steps while
pedalling, but never do so while pedalling backwards.
This may damage the shifter.
▪Do not use your bicycle without a spoke protector. If
no spoke protector is tted, you will need to retrot
one. Otherwise, the bicycle chain can become caught
between the sprocket and spokes.
Information
Even with an optimally adjusted shifter, you may hear
noise when the chain is running at an extreme angle.
This is not a defect, and will not damage the drive. The
noise will abate once the angle of the chain reduces.
A derailleur consists of between 6 and 12 sprockets on the
rear wheel and between 1 and 3 chainrings on the crank
drive. The number of sprockets and chainrings gives you
the number of gears. The left-hand control element on the
handlebars controls the front derailleur. This directs the
chain to another chainring. The right-hand control element
controls the rear derailleur and hence guides the chain over
the various sprockets on the rear wheel. With mechanical
derailleurs, the control elements control the front derailleur
and rear derailleur with cables, whereas with electronic
derailleurs, this is done with cables and motors. Electronic
derailleurs are battery-operated. You can use the left-hand
Fig. 60 Correct gear lever position
24.2 Adjust the shift cable tension
If a noise can be heard after shifting gears while you ride,
this can be due to a poorly adjusted shift cable tension. To
remedy this problem, you can do the following:
1. Turn the cable adjustment screw on the gear lever half
a turn counterclockwise.
2. If the noise decreases, turn the cable adjustment
screw further in the counterclockwise direction. If
the noise increases, you will need to turn the cable
adjustment screw in the other direction, i.e. clockwise.
Keep turning until the sound can no longer be heard.
If you can still hear noises after making this adjustment,
get in touch with your specialist workshop.

24.3.3 Adjusting the rear and front derailleurs
24.3.3.1 Mechanical derailleur
If the chain rattles and no longer runs smoothly, it makes
sense to adjust the rear and front derailleurs. We will show
you how to do that below. Get in touch with your dealer if
you are unsure about any of these tasks.
Rear derailleur: setting the upper stop
7. Shift the chain to the smallest chainring and the
smallest sprocket using the control elements on the
handlebars.
8. The idler pulley must now be positioned exactly
beneath the smallest cog. The chain should therefore
be in a straight line. If this isn’t the case, its position
must be adjusted using the adjustment screw.
9. Turn the cable
adjustment screw
clockwise if the rear
derailleur needs to be
moved inward, or
anticlockwise if it
needs to be moved
outward. Count the
turns, so that you can
reverse this action if
you have turned the
wrong screw and the
rear derailleur has not
moved.
10. To check whether the
tensile stress is set
correctly, shift a couple
of gears up and down
again using the control element. The pedal crank must
be moving when you do this.
Fig. 82 Turning the upper
adjustment screw ©Shimano
Adjustment screw
EN-44 Originalbetriebsanleitung Allgemein
11. If the chain can only be moved with diculty to the
next larger cog, you will need to increase the tensile
stress. If the chain can only be moved with diculty to
the next smaller cog, the tensile stress must be
decreased.
12. The tensile stress can
be adjusted using
the cable adjustment
screw on the control
elements.
Turn the cable
adjustment screw
clockwise to
increase the tension.
Turn the cable
adjustment screw
counterclockwise to decrease the tension. The tensile
stress should only be high enough to prevent the chain
from rubbing on the next higher cog.
Rear derailleur: setting the lower stop
13. Shift the chain to the largest chainring and the
smallest sprocket using the control elements on the
handlebars.
14. Now, turn the lower adjustment screw until the idler
pulley is positioned exactly beneath the largest
chainring.
Fig. 83 Adjusting the tensile
stress ©Shimano
Cable adjustment screw
Front derailleur: setting the upper stop
1. Shift the chain to the smallest chainring and the
largest sprocket using the control elements on the
handlebars.
2. The distance between the chain and the inner guide
plate should now be minimal. The chain should not
touch the guide plate.
3. This distance can be reduced using the lower screw
(L). Turning this clockwise moves the front derailleur
outward towards the crank, provided that the tensile
stress on the cable is already high enough. Turning
this counterclockwise moves the front derailleur
towards the frame.
4. To set the correct tensile stress, shift to the large
chainring at the front and the smallest sprocket at the
rear using the control elements on the handlebars.
The chain should not touch the outer plate of the front
derailleur.
5. The tensile stress can be adjusted using the cable
adjustment screw. Turn the cable adjustment screw
clockwise to increase the tension. Turn the cable
adjustment screw counterclockwise to decrease the
tension. The tensile stress should only be high enough
to prevent the chain from rubbing on the next higher
cog, and the guide plates of the front derailleur from
touching the chain.

Front derailleur: setting the upper stop
6. To set the upper limit, turn the upper screw (H).
Turning this clockwise moves the front derailleur
closer to the frame. Turning this counterclockwise
moves the front derailleur away from the frame.
7. The outer guide plate of the front derailleur should
now run parallel to the chainring. The distance
between the outer guide plate and the largest teeth of
the chainring should be between 1 and 3 mm.

▪Make sure that you always only shift one gear
upward or downward using the twist grip. Do not
step on the pedals when shifting gears.
▪ If the wheel is dicult to turn, the brake shoes must
be replaced, or the hub lubricated. This should be
done in a specialist workshop.
Information
In rare cases, the internal gears and the pawls in the
hub can make a noise when shifting. These noises are
normally harmless.
With hub gears, gear changes
take place on the rear wheel hub
and use the planetary gear
principle. Hub gears can be cable
(mechanical) or motor (electric)
driven. On both variants, this is
done using the control element on
the handlebars.

24.4.2 Adjusting gears
If you cannot shift gears correctly while riding, this may be
due to an incorrectly adjusted shift cable. Find out how to
resolve this issue below. Should you have any questions,
consult your specialist workshop, or have the work done
directly there.
24.4.2.1 Shimano control elements
Regardless of whether you operate the gear shifter on
your bicycle with a gear lever or a twist grip, checking and
adjusting the shift cable is almost identical for both control
elements:
1. Gearlever:Shift the gear lever from 8th to 4th gear.
2. Twist grip: Turn the grip:
• If you have 7/8 gears, shift from 1st to 4th gear
• If you have 5 gears, shift from 1st to 3rd gear.
3. Check whether the yellow marking lines on the bracket
and the ratchet wheel are aligned. There are yellow
marking lines in two places on the gearshift unit. Use
the lines that are easiest to see.
Fig. 103 Checking the alignment of the marking lines ©Shimano
Yellow marking lines
4. Turn the setting screw on the control element until the
marking lines are aligned.
Fig. 104 Turning the setting screw ©Shimano
5. On a 7/8-gear bicycle, shift from 4th gear to 1st and
then back to 4th. On a 5-gear bicycle, shift from 3rd gear
to 1st and then back to 3rd.
6. Check whether the yellow marking lines are still
aligned.
24.4.2.2 Enviolotwistgrip
If there is more than 1.5 mm of play in the shift cable, you
should reduce this. Play in excess of 1.5 mm can negatively
inuence the shifting quality, as well as the lifespan of the
shift cables.
1. Turn the setting screws to adjust the shift cable play.
2. Then, pull gently on the shift cables to check the play.
A shift cable play of 0.5 mm is ideal.

24.5 Cleaning and care
You can clean the control elements with a damp cloth.
Coarse dirt can be removed from the gearshift unit and
front derailleur with a soft brush. Use a small, ner brush
and cloth to clean the small components of the shifter more
carefully. Solvents or brake cleaners are not recommended
here, as these also remove grease from points where it is
still needed. It is then advisable to lubricate the individual
components of the gearshift unit with oil.
25. Chain
The bicycle chain is part of the drive. It transfers the torque
which is generated when you step on the pedals to the rear
wheel. The individual chain links are usually made of steel.
There are two basic types of bicycle chain, namely broad
chains for hub gears and narrower chains for derailleurs.
These come in dierent widths, depending on how many
sprockets the cassette used has.
Warnings
Pedelec/S-Pedelec: serious bruising due to accidental
actuation of the On button.
▪Remove the battery before taking measurements,
setting or cleaning your Pedelec/S-Pedelec.
Serious injury and accidents caused by cracked or
incorrectly tensioned bicycle chains.
▪Check the chain for signs of wear and correct
tensioning before every trip. Do not ride the
bicycle if the chain is worn, damaged or incorrectly
tensioned. In this case, consult a specialist
workshop.
Originalbetriebsanleitung Allgemein EN-49
25.1 Measuring and adjusting the chain
tension
Information
If the bicycle chain is too tight, pedalling will require
greater eort. The constant tension on the chain links
will also increase wear on the chain. You can tell if
your bicycle chain is not tensioned enough because
the chain will visibly sag, or jump o when riding over
uneven ground. If this is the case, the chain should be
tightened as soon as possible.
25.1.1 Derailleur: measuring the chain
tension
On derailleurs, a spring in the
rear derailleur keeps the chain
at the correct tension. If the
chain still sags, this can be due
to a dirty chain tensioner. If
the chain is still too loose after
you have cleaned the chain
tensioner, the spring in the rear
derailleur may be faulty. If this
is the case, the rear derailleur
must be replaced. Please contact your cycle dealer.
25.1.2 Hub gear: measuring the chain tension
1. Pedelec: Remove the battery.
2. Press the chain up or down at its tautest point. The
correct tension is reached when the chain sags.
3. Check the chain at four or ve points over a complete
revolution of the chain.
Fig. 107 Chain tensioner
25.1.3 Hub gear: adjusting the chain tension
1. Pedelec/S-Pedelec: Remove the battery.
2. Undo the rear wheel nuts.
3. Remove the brake anchor as required.
4. Pull the rear wheel back in the drop-outs until the
chain just has the permissible amount of play.
5. Carefully tighten all bolts in a clockwise direction to a
torque setting of 35 - 40 Nm. Make sure the wheel is
retted straight.
25.2 Checking for chain wear
1. Pedelec/S-Pedelec: Remove the battery.
2. Check chain wear using a chain wear gauge.
3. Have the chain replaced by your dealer if it is worn.
25.3 Cleaning and care
Notice
Damage to the electronics due to water ingress.
▪Do not spray the bicycle or its components, either
with a water hose or with a high-pressure cleaning
device. Although the components are sealed,
damage to the cycle may still result. Clean the bike
with a soft damp cloth.
Remove the battery before cleaning the chain on an
S-Pedelec or Pedelec. Then, roughly brush the bicycle
chain and chain tensioner with a soft brush. You can then
remove the old chain oil with a dry cloth. Now you can oil
the chain. We recommend high-quality chain oils, used
sparingly. Apply the oil to the lower chain from above,
turning the crank as you do so. Then, turn the crank further
and shift through all gears in the derailleurs.
26. Belt
Warnings
Pedelec/S-Pedelec: serious bruising due to accidental
actuation of the On button.
▪Remove the battery before taking measurements,
setting or cleaning your Pedelec/S-Pedelec.
Serious injury caused by worn or damaged belts.
▪Check the belt for signs of wear before every trip
26.3 Checking the belt for wear Page EN-51. A worn or
damaged drive belt can break.
Notice
Destroyed belt due to incorrect use.
▪Do not kink, twist, bend backwards, turn over, knot
or bind together the belt.
26.1 Measuring the belt tension
There are various ways to measure the tension of the drive
belt. One of these is the Carbon Drive app, which measures
the tension based on the natural frequency (Hz) of the belt
length. You can download the app from gatescarbondrive.
com/products/tools.
EN-50 Originalbetriebsanleitung Allgemein
Information
The Carbon Drive app works best in a quiet
environment.
1. Pedelec/S-Pedelec: Remove the battery.
2. Load the app on to your smartphone.
3. Start the app.
4. Select the tension icon.
5. Switch on the microphone, click “Measure” and hold
the phone over the middle of the belt making sure that
the microphone is pointing towards the belt.
6. Pluck the belt so that it vibrates like a guitar string.
The app converts the sound into the natural frequency
of the belt.
7. Turn the pedal crank a quarter of a revolution and
repeat the measurement.
8. Compare the frequency of the belt with the reference
value to see if the tension needs adjusting.

workshop.
26.4 Cleaning and care
Notice
Damage to the electronics due to water ingress.
▪Do not spray the bicycle or its components, either
with a water hose or with a high-pressure cleaning
device. Although the components are sealed,
damage to the cycle may still result. Clean the bike
with a soft damp cloth.
Please remove the battery before cleaning the belt on a
Pedelec or S-Pedelec. Then, clean the belt with a soft, damp
cloth. Allow it to dry before putting it back on your bike.
27. Wheels
Wheels provide the connection between your bicycle and
the road. They can be attached to the frame and fork using
axle nuts, quick-release skewers or through-axles.
27.1 Fastening wheels with quick-release
skewers
Warning
Serious falls due to loose components.
▪ All quick-release skewers must be properly closed
before setting o. Quick-release skewers cannot be
closed by simply turning the lever.
▪ Check that all quick-release skewers are rmly
seated before every use.
▪Do not bend the brake disc or hold onto it when
closing the quick-release skewer.
Wheels are attached to most bicycles using quick-release
skewers. These are clamping devices which have the
advantage that they can be quickly loosened and tightened
by hand. Quick-release skewers normally consist of ve
parts: the axle, the tensioning lever, the clamping nut and
two springs. The tensioning lever and axle are rigidly
connected to one another, while the clamping nut is
screwed onto the end of the axle. The tensioning lever
exerts a clamping force, and the clamping nut is used to set
the pre-tension.

Fig. 116 Quick-release skewer on the wheel
1. Open the tensioning lever by folding it by 180˚. OPEN
should now be visible.
2. Check that the wheel is correctly positioned.
3. Close the tensioning lever by swinging the lever by
180˚. CLOSE should now be visible. The lever should
be very easy to move from the beginning of the closing
movement up to halfway. Then, the force required to
move the lever must signicantly increase until the
lever is very dicult to move at the end.
4. a) If the quick-release skewer closes too easily, the
pre-tension must be increased: Hold the tensioning
lever and turn the clamping nut on the opposite side
clockwise. Check whether the correct pre-tensioning
has been achieved by closing the tensioning lever.
b) If the quick-release skewer is too dicult to close,
the pre-tension must be reduced: Hold the tensioning
lever and turn the clamping nut on the opposite
side counterclockwise. Check whether the correct
pre-tensioning has been achieved by closing the
tensioning lever.
5. Close the tensioning lever. The lever must be
positioned in such a way that it cannot be opened
accidentally.
27.2 Attaching wheels with through-axles
Warning
Serious falls due to loose components.
▪Close the lever as described. Otherwise, the wheel
may become loose while cycling, and you run the
risk of very serious or even fatal injuries. If you are
unsure, have a specialist workshop show you this
setting.
Through-axles are similar to quick-release skewers. While
quick-release skewers in wheels are pushed through the
axle of the hub, through-axles are themselves the axle.
Unlike quick-release skewers, they have a threaded
connection rather than a clamping nut. Through-axles can
the completely screwed on, or can rst of all be screwed on,
and then tightened using a lever, as on a quick-release
skewer. A further option is to attach the wheel using a
T-piece, which is then secured by means of a lever (e.g.,
R.A.T. through-axle).

27.2.1 Mounting a R.A.T. through-axle
1. Insert the R.A.T. axle with the lever in the open
position through the frame/fork and wheel, until the
T-piece at the end of the R.A.T. axle penetrates the
insert on the other side.
Insert
Fig. 120 Insert the through-axle
2. Turn the lever 90° clockwise until the T-piece hits the
insert. The axle should turn easily, and it should no
longer be possible to pull it out of the frame.
Fig. 121 Rotate the lever clockwise
3. Once the axle is in position, ip the lever to tension
the system.
Fig. 122 Tension the lever
Originalbetriebsanleitung Allgemein EN-53
4. If the lever does not apply any clamping force towards
the end of its movement, the pre-tension must be
increased. This is done using the rotary wheel under
the lever. Open the lever and increase the pre-tension
by turning the lever counterclockwise until the lever
generates sucient clamping force and can be closed
hand-tight.
Fig. 123 Increase the pre-tensioning
27.3 Rims
Warning
Serious falls and accidents caused by broken rims.
▪Carbon: If you are using a bicycle with carbon
brakes and carbon rims, bear in mind that this
material has considerably inferior braking behaviour
than aluminium rims. You should also note that only
approved brake pads may be used.
The bicycle rim is the supporting, ring-shaped metal prole
on a wheel, which accommodates the tyre, tube and rim
tape. The rim is usually connected to the hub of the bicycle
by means of spokes.
27.3.1 Checking for rim wear/fatigue on rim
brakes
Warning
Serious falls due to locked wheel.
▪Check for wear on your rims at least once a year. If
the rim wall is less than 0.7 mm thick, it may break
open while riding.
Wear/fatigue on the rims can be detected in dierent ways.
The easiest is a visual inspection. Examine the rim; you
should replace the rims or consult a specialist workshop if
you notice any of the following:
▪ Broken rim arch
▪ Cracks at the spoke attachment point
▪ Round, worn-down braking anks
▪ Dark spots at spoke height
▪ Worn wear indicator
Many rims have a milled ring or a single small hole, the so-
called wear indicator. If this can no longer be seen or felt,
the rim is worn out.
Fig. 124 Broken rim arch Fig. 125 Cracks on the spoke
Fig. 126 Dark spots Fig. 127 Wear indicator
27.3.2 Cleaning and care
Notice
Pedelec/S-Pedelec: motor damage caused by water
ingress.
▪When you are cleaning the rims, make sure that no
water gets into the motor.
Please remove the battery before cleaning the rims of an
S-Pedelec or Pedelec. Then, brush the rims with a soft
brush. Heavier soiling can be removed with a soft, damp
cloth.
28. Tyres and tubes
Warning
Serious falls due to bursting tyres.
▪ Tyres are wear parts. Check the prole depth, pres-
sure and the condition of the sidewalls regularly.
Replace worn tyres before using the bicycle again.
There are a variety of dierent types of tyres. O-road
mobility and rolling resistance will depend on your tyre
prole.

and cause an immediate loss of control. If the tyre
pressureistoolow,thetyrecancomeotherim.
▪The air pressure indicated on the tyre must not be
exceeded or undercut. A maximum air pressure
indicated for certain rims must not be exceeded. The
lowest maximum air pressure indicated on the tyre
or rim is applicable. The permissible tyre pressure
is given in bar or psi on the sidewall of the tyre and/
or on the rim. There are many tools on the Internet
that you can use to convert values from bar to psi,
or vice versa.
▪You should also observe the recommendations given
on the websites and in the operating instructions of
the tyre and rim manufacturers.
Information
Use a standing air pump with integrated pressure
display. This will allow you to check and adjust your
tyre pressure at any time. You will need an adapter for
certain valves. You can purchase these together with
the pump from your specialist workshop.
28.2 Tubeless tyres
Warnings
Serious falls due to bursting tyres.
▪Only use tubeless tyres on rims designed for this
purpose. These are identied accordingly with the
"tubeless ready” label.
▪Mount and remove tubeless tyres as far as possible
without using tools. Where necessary, however,
a plastic assembly lever can also be used. Be
extremely careful not to damage the sealing tyre
bead. This can lead to leaks. If the sealing uid is
not able to prevent a defect, a normal tube can be
used after removing the valve.
▪Tubeless tyres should be removed from the rim as
far as possible without using tools, otherwise leaks
may occur as a result. If the sealing uid is not able
to prevent a defect, a normal tube can be used after
removing the valve.
▪Please follow the tyre manufacturer's instructions.
Today, so-called tubeless tyres can be found primarily on
modern mountain bikes, and less often on racing bikes.
28.3 Tubes
The tube is necessary in order to maintain the pressure
inside of the tyre. This is lled by means of a valve.
28.3.1 Valves
There are three types of valves: Sclaverand or racing
valves, Schrader or car valves, and Dunlop or Blitz valves.
All three types of valves are protected from dirt with a
cover cap. Allow your specialist dealer to advise you which
air pump is most suitable for your valve.

the child seat and trailer in accordance with the
manufacturer’s specications, and only in the
permitted positions. Check regularly that these are
rmly mounted. Make sure that no straps, etc. can
get caught up in the spokes and/or rotating wheels.
Seriousfallsandaccidentscausedbyinsucient
bicycle control.
▪Child seats and trailers alter the riding characte-
ristics. The braking distance becomes longer, thus,
you should start braking earlier, and the steering
response becomes more sluggish. Practise starting,
braking, going round corners, and up and down hills,
starting with an empty/unloaded trailer. Adapt your
riding style accordingly.
▪Avoid loading the child seat or trailer too heavily.
The heavier the load, the more dicult it will be to
brake.
Serious head injuries from riding without a bicycle
helmet.
▪Make sure your child wears a good cycle helmet.
Explain to your child that the cycle helmet is only to
be worn when riding the bike and must be taken o
when the child is no longer being transported.
31.2.1 Child seats
▪S-Pedelec: Attaching a child seat to an S-Pedelec is not
allowed.
▪Carbon: Attaching a child seat to carbon components is
not allowed.
▪ Attaching a child seat to the handlebars or a handlebar
extension is not allowed.
▪Attaching a child seat to a luggage rack on a bicycle
(motorless) or Pedelec with a load capacity of less
than 27 kg is not allowed. Ask your dealer or child seat
manufacturer whether you can attach a child seat to your
luggage rack with a load capacity of at least 27 kg.
▪Should you want to attach a child seat to the seat tube of
your bicycle (motorless)/Pedelec, please ask your dealer
or child seat manufacturer whether this is possible with
your model.
Caution
Trappedngersduetounprotectedspiralsprings.
▪If there are coil springs underneath your saddle,
cover them up. A child being carried in a child seat
can trap their ngers in them.
31.2.2 Trailers
▪S-Pedelec: Attaching a trailer to your S-Pedelecs is not
allowed.
▪Carbon: Attaching a trailer to carbon components is not
allowed.
▪Should you want to be able to attach a trailer to your
bicycle (motorless) or Pedelec, ask your dealer or trailer
manufacturer whether this is possible with your bicycle
model.

32. Transporting the bicycle
It is essential that you comply with the following safety
instructions when transporting your bicycle.
32.1 Transport by car or mobile home
Warnings
Pedelec/S-Pedelec: serious accidents caused by
loosening/falling bicycle carriers.
▪As Pedelecs/S-Pedelecs are heavier than motorless
bicycles, your bicycle carrier must be designed for
this increased bicycle weight. It is imperative to
follow the guidance of the bike rack manufacturer.
Pedelec/S-Pedelec: accidents caused by loosening
batteries.
▪Remove the battery from your Pedelec/S-Pedelec
before transportation. Use a special battery bag that
protects the battery from heat, shocks and impacts.
Serious accidents caused by pannier bags and other
attachments on the roadway.
▪Remove panniers and other attachments during
transportation.
Notice
Pedelec/S-Pedelec: damage to the electronics due to
water ingress.
▪Only transport Pedelecs/S-Pedelecs on a bicycle
carrier when provided with suitable rain protection.
In particular, protect the motor and docking station
from water ingress.
32.1.1 Carbon frame or parts
Warning
Serious falls and accidents caused by broken
components.
▪When transporting the bicycle on a roof luggage rack
or on a tow bar carrier, ensure that the mounting is
never tted to the frame. Always secure the bicycle
by its seat post, never by its down tube, crossbar,
seat tube, fork blades, fork steerer tube, chain
stays, cranks or seat stays. The clamping mechanism
may cause visible or hidden damage to the frame
which may aect safety. If your bicycle is tted
with a carbon seat post, we recommend tting an
aluminium or steel post for transport.
32.2 Transport by bus, rail & air
Information
Find out from your travel company well in advance if
their regulations allow you to take your bicycle with
you.
33. Protection from theft, manipulation
and loss
Warning
Serious falls and accidents caused by unauthorised
access by third parties.
▪Protect your bicycle from unauthorised access.
Inspect your bicycle before every trip and after
each time it has been transported anywhere or left
unattended. If your bike is damaged, only ride it
again once the damage has been rectied. Your bike
will not be replaced under warranty if lost or stolen.
Information
The following measures can help you to protect your
bicycle from theft and manipulation and to recover it if
it has been stolen:
▪Pedelec/S-Pedelec: Always lock the bike and battery
even if you leave it for a short while. Ideally, the
lock(s) should block the wheel powered by the
motor.
▪Pedelec/S-Pedelec: Do not leave the key in. To be on
the safe side, you can also remove the battery. The
Pedelec must also be secured with a lock when it is
parked outside the home (e.g. sheds, basement).
Information
▪Do not park your bicycle in isolated locations –
especially for long periods. If possible, park your
bicycle in private or communal garages or individual
bike lockers which have surveillance. Lock your
bicycle to a xed object (such as a tree, street lamp
or fence), so that it cannot be carried away.
▪ Quick-release wheels should be attached to a xed
object together with the frame. This prevents the
wheel from being stolen. Alternatively, the quick-
release skewers can be replaced by an anti-theft
device. Contact your cycle dealer if you have
questions on this.
▪ Use a high-quality bike lock. Invest about 10% of the
purchase price of the bike in locks. Your cycle dealer
will be able to t a suitable frame lock if your bike
does not already have one. You can also use other
types of bike locks. Ask your cycle dealer for advice.
EN-62 Originalbetriebsanleitung Allgemein
Notice
▪Make a note of the important details of your bicycle
(e.g. in the service book, bike passport, etc.) and get
it registered with the police. This makes it easier to
describe and identify if stolen.
▪Ask the police to code your bicycle; the address and
initials of the owner are engraved on the frame in an
encrypted form. Coding makes the illegal resale of a
bike more dicult and deters thieves. A coded bike
also makes it easier to identify the owner.
▪Bicycle theft is often covered by household contents
insurance. Check the terms of your insurance policy
as soon as possible.
33.1 Ordering another key
If your bicycle is tted with an Abus, Axa or Trelock lock,
you can simply order another key if you lose it. All you need
is the key number. To order, go to schluesselservice.abus.
com, keyservice.axasecurity.com or trelock-keyservice.
de and follow the instructions. If you cannot reorder a
key because of a missing key number, ask your dealer to
replace the lock.
Pedelec/S-Pedelec: You can normally use the keys to open
and close the bicycle lock as well as the battery lock.
34. Cleaning the bicycle and its
components
Warning
Pedelec/S-Pedelec: serious bruising due to accidental
actuation of the On button.
▪Remove the battery before cleaning the Pedelec.
Notice
Damage to the electronics due to water ingress.
▪Do not immerse the bicycle or its components in
water, rinse them o with a water hose or clean
them with a high-pressure cleaning device. Although
the components are sealed, damage to the cycle may
still result. Clean them with a soft damp cloth.
Scratchesanddullsurfacesduetoabrasivecleaners
and sponges.
▪Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners for
cleaning. No coarse sponges or brushes may be used
either. Clean the bicycle and its components with a
damp, soft cloth or a soft brush.
Clean your bicycle regularly, but especially after you’ve
been out in the rain.
35. Pedelec/S-Pedelec: storage
Remove and store the battery separately. The Pedelec/S-
Pedelec should preferably be kept in a dry, not excessively
warm room.
36. Disposal
Notice
Misdemeanoursandnes.
▪Observe the respective national regulations
regarding the disposal of the individual components.
Do not dispose of the bicycle, its components and transport
packaging in the household refuse, but hand them in at
designated locations. This is the only way to recycle raw
materials and properly dispose of hazardous substances.
This saves on natural resources, and protects the
environment.

37. Warranty conditions
The statutory warranty valid at the time of delivery applies
to all bicycle models. This begins with the handover of
the bicycle by the dealer, who is the contact person for
warranty claims.
Please retain purchase receipts such as the invoice and/or
till receipt for the duration of the warranty period as proof
of your purchase and handover date.
37.1 Warranty conditions
37.1.1 Requirements for a warranty claim
The following criteria must be met in order to be entitled to
submit a claim against the statutory warranty:
▪Manufacturing, material or information defect.
▪The cause of the change in the bicycle or component is
not wear or ageing arising naturally or as a result of its
functions 37.1.3 Wear parts Page EN-63.
▪The damage was not caused by use of the bike for other
than the intended purpose 7.1 Bicycle (motorless)/
Pedelec Page EN-13.
37.1.2 Caveatemptor
You are not entitled to submit a warranty claim in the event

38.2 Handovertalk
Have your dealer show and explain the following points to you, and take a test ride.
Please ask your dealer to tick o the items that have been completed.
39. Maintenanceintervals
As the spokes settle, the brake and gearshift cables stretch
and the bearings run in during the rst few kilometres
travelled, the rst inspection should be performed after
approximately 100 km of travel or six weeks from the date
of purchase. After that, please visit a specialist workshop
once a year or after every 2000 km of travel. Have the
components listed for the maintenance intervals adjusted,
checked (tightening torques, wear), if necessary replaced,
cleaned and – if necessary and possible – lubricated.
Warnings
▪Serious falls due to malfunctions.
Observe the maintenance intervals. The intervals
recommended in the maintenance tables should only
be used as guidelines for normal operation and can
vary depending on the conditions (e.g., weather).
Please also observe the specications in the compo-
nent operating instructions 5. Component guides
Page EN-10. Make sure that the bicycle is maintained
in accordance with our specications and all main-
tenance work is logged. Components can fail if wear
and damage are not identied in good time. If this
happens whilst you are cycling, you run the risk
of very serious or even fatal injuries. Replace any
worn, damaged or bent components before using the
bike again.
▪If you use your bicycle intensively, remember that
it will be subjected to greater wear and tear. Many
parts of bicycles, particularly on light sports bicyc-
les, are designed for a specic period of use. Once
this is exceeded, there is a considerable risk that
components will fail.
Notice
Please note that maintenance is not free of charge.
