About these instructions
1 About these instructions
Read these operating instructions before
commissioning the bicycle to ensure that you use all
functions safely and correctly. The operating
instructions are not a substitute for personal
instruction by the supplying specialist dealer. The
operating instructions are a component part of the
bicycle. Therefore, if it is re-sold at a later time, they
must be handed over to the subsequent owner.
These operating instructions are mainly intended for
the rider and owner of the bicycle, who tend to be non-
professionals.
Staff at all specialist dealers have specialist training
and qualifications, and are therefore capable of
identifying risks and preventing hazards which may
arise during maintenance, servicing and repairs on the
bicycle. Information for specialist staff does not require
non-professionals to take any action.

Description
3.3.2 Suspension
Both forks and suspension forks are fitted in this model
series. A suspension fork is based either on a steel
spring or air suspension. Unlike a rigid fork, a
suspension fork has two functions which improve floor
contact and comfort: suspension and damping.
Figure 7: Bicycle without suspension (1) and with suspension (2) when
riding over an obstacle
The suspension prevents an impact, such as one
caused by a stone lying in the bike's path, from being
channelled directly into the rider's body via the fork.
The impact is absorbed by the suspension system
instead. This causes the suspension fork to compress.
The compression can be disabled so that a
suspension fork reacts like a rigid fork. The switch to
disable the fork is called a remote lockout.
After compressing, the suspension fork returns to its
original position. If there is a damper, it decelerates
movement, preventing the suspension system from
springing back in an uncontrolled manner and
stopping the fork from vibrating up and down.

Dampers which dampen compressive deflection
movements, i.e. a compression load, are called

4 Front wheel brake disc
5 Rear wheel brake disc
On a bicycle with a disc brake, the brake disc is
screwed permanently to the hub of the wheel.
The brake lever is pulled to increase brake pressure.
The brake fluid is used to transfer pressure through
the brake lines to the cylinders in the brake calliper.
The braking force is boosted by a speed reduction and
applied to the brake linings. These apply the brake
disc mechanically. If the brake lever is pulled, the
brake linings are pressed against the brake disc, and
the movement of the wheel is decelerated until it
comes to a stop.

5.1 Transportation
Take into account the ready-to-use bicycle's weight
when transporting it.
Remove accessories, for example drinking bottles,
before transportation of the bicycle.
Oil leak if no transport securing device
The brake securing device prevents the brakes from
being applied accidentally during transport. This could
cause irreparable damage to the brake system or an oil
leak, which will harm the environment.
Never pull the brake lever when the wheel has been
dismounted.
Always use the transport securing system when
transporting dismounted wheels.
If the bicycle is lying flat, oil and grease may leak from
the bicycle.
If the shipping box with a bicycle is lying flat or on one
end, it does not provide the frame and the wheels with
adequate protection from damage.
Only transport the bicycle in an upright position.
Bicycle rack systems which secure the bicycle
standing on its head by the handlebars or frame,
generate inadmissible forces on the components
during transportation. This can cause the supporting
parts to break.
Never use bicycle rack systems which secure the
bicycle standing on its head by the handlebars or
frame.

5.3.3 Scope of delivery
The bicycle was completely assembled in the factory
for test purposes and then dismantled for
transportation.
The bicycle is 95–98% pre-assembled. The scope of
delivery includes:
• the pre-assembled bicycle
• the front wheel
• the pedals and
• quick release (optional).
5.3.4 Commissioning
Since initial commissioning of the bicycle requires
special tools and specialist knowledge, only trained
specialist staff may perform initial commissioning.
Experience has shown that a bicycle which has not yet
been sold, is spontaneously handed to consumers as
soon as it appears ready to ride.
For this reason, every vehicle must be prepared, so
that it is fully ready for use immediately after being
assembled.
Staff should work through the initial commissioning
check list to prepare the vehicle, so that it is ready
to ride.

Before the first ride
6 Before the first ride
Only a correctly adjusted bicycle will guarantee you
the desired ride comfort and health-promoting activity.
Therefore adjust the saddle, the handlebars and the
suspension to your body and your preferred riding style
before the first ride.
6.1 Adjusting the saddle
6.1.1 Adjusting the saddle tilt
The saddle tilt must be adjusted to the seat height, the
saddle and handlebar position, and the saddle shape
to ensure an optimum fit. The seating position can be
optimised in this way if needed. First, readjust the
saddle after finding the handlebar position you prefer.
Place the saddle tilt in the horizontal position to
adjust the bicycle to your needs for the first time.
Figure 31: Horizontal saddle tilt
Crash caused by incorrectly adjusted torques
If a screw is fastened too tightly, it may break. If a
screw is not fastened enough, it may loosen. This will
result in a crash and injuries.

6.1.2 Determining the seat height
To determine the seat height safely, either push the
bicycle near to a wall, so that you can lean on the wall
to support yourself or ask another person to hold the
bicycle for you.
Climb onto the bicycle.
Place your heel on the pedal and extend your leg,
so that the pedal is at the lowest crank rotation
point.
The rider sits straight on the saddle if the seat is at
an optimum height. If this is not the case, you can
adjust the length of the seat post to your needs.

To close it, push the seat post clamping lever as far
as it will go into the seat post.
Check the clamping force of the quick releases.
6.1.4 Setting the height-adjustable seat post
When using your seat post for the first time, you
must give it a firm push downwards to set it in
motion. This is due to the natural tendency of the
seal to repel oil from the seal surface. You only
need to do this before the first use or after a longer
period of non-use. Once you have displaced the
post through its deflection, the oil spreads on the
seal and the post begins to function normally.

To lower the saddle, press your hand down on the
saddle or sit on the saddle.
Press the seat post activation lever and hold it
down.
Release the lever once you have reached the
required height.
6.1.4.2 Raising the saddle
Pull the seat post activation level.
Remove any pressure on the saddle and release
the lever once you have reached the required
height.
6.1.5 Adjusting the seat position
The saddle can be shifted on the saddle frame. The
right horizontal position ensures an optimal leverage
position for legs. This prevents knee pain and painful
incorrect pelvis positions. If you have displaced the
saddle more than 10 mm, you then need to adjust the
saddle height again since both settings affect one
another.
To adjust the seat position safely, either push the
bicycle near to a wall, so that you can lean on the wall
to support yourself or ask another person to hold the
bicycle for you.
Climb onto the bicycle.
Place the pedals into the vertical position (3 o'clock
position) with your feet.
The rider is sitting in the optimal sitting position if
the knee cap perpendicular line runs through the
pedal axle. If the perpendicular line crosses behind
the pedal, bring the saddle forward. If the
perpendicular line crosses in front of the pedal,

6.4.1 Adjusting the negative deflection
Negative deflection is compression caused by the
rider's weight, including equipment (such as a
backpack), sitting position and frame geometry.
Each rider has a different weight and sitting position.
Negative deflection depends on the rider's position
and weight and should be between 15% and 30% of
the maximum fork deflection, depending on the bicycle
usage and preferences.
6.4.1.1 Adjusting the steel suspension fork negative
deflection
Alternative
You can adjust the fork by tensioning the spring to the
rider's weight and their preferred riding style. It is not
the coil spring hardness which is adjusted; it is its pre-
tensioning. This reduces the fork's negative deflection
when the rider sits on the bicycle.

Only adjust the negative deflection when the bicycle is
stationary.
The setting wheel may be located under a plastic
cover on the suspension fork crown. Remove the
plastic cover by pulling it off upwards.
Turn the negative deflection setting wheel in a
clockwise direction to increase the spring pre-
tensioning.
Turn the negative deflection setting wheel in an
anti-clockwise direction to reduce it.
The ideal setting in relation to the weight of the rider
has been achieved when the shock absorber
deflects 3 mm under the stationary load of the rider.
If applicable, re-attach the plastic cover after
setting the suspension fork.
6.4.1.2 Adjusting the air suspension fork negative deflection
Alternative
The air chamber valve can be used to adjust the fork
suspension to the rider's weight and driving style.
Riding without filling pressure will destroy the wheel
suspension, the frame and the air suspension
elements.
Never ride without filling pressure in the air
suspension elements.
A normal air pump cannot build up the required
pressure with sufficient sensitivity.
Use a special damper pump to adjust the filling
pressure.

Operation
7.1 Before each ride
Crash caused by difficult-to-spot damage
If the bicycle topples over or you have a fall or an
accident, there may be difficult-to-spot damage to
components such as the brake system, quick releases
or frame. This may cause you to fall from the bicycle
and injure yourself.
Take the bicycle out of service and have a specialist
dealer carry out an inspection.
Crash caused by material fatigue
Intensive use can cause material fatigue. A component
may suddenly fail in case of material fatigue. This may
cause you to fall from the bicycle and injure yourself.
Remove the bicycle from service immediately in
case of any signs of material fatigue. Have the
specialist dealer check the state.
Have the specialist dealer carry out a basic
inspection regularly. During the inspection, the
specialist dealer inspects the bicycle for any signs
of material fatigue on the frame, fork, suspension
element mountings (if there are any) and
components made of composite materials.
Carbon becomes brittle when exposed to heat
radiation such as heating. This can cause the carbon
part to break and result in a crash with injuries.
Never expose carbon parts to strong heat sources.

Operation
7.2 Check list before each ride
Check the bicycle before each ride.
Do not use the bicycle if there are any anomalies.
Check that the bicycle is complete.
Check that the lighting, reflector and brake, for instance, are
sufficiently clean.
You must check that the mudguards, the pannier rack and the
chain guard are securely installed.
Check that the front and rear wheels run true. This is particularly
important if the bicycle has been transported or secured with a
lock.
Check the valves and the tyre pressure. Adjust as necessary
before each ride.
If the bicycle has a hydraulic rim brake, check whether the
locking levers are fully closed in their final positions.
Check the front and rear wheel brakes to make sure that they
are working properly. To do so, operate the brake levers while
stationary in order to check whether resistance is generated in
the usual brake lever position. The brake must not lose any
brake fluid.
Check that the driving light is working.
Check for unusual noises, vibrations, smells, staining,
deformation, cracks, scores, abrasion and wear. This indicates
material fatigue.
Inspect suspension system for cracks, dents, bumps, parts or
leaking oil. Look at concealed sections on the bicycle's lower
surfaces.
Use body weight to compress suspension system. Adjust to the
optimum "SAG" value if suspension is too soft.
If quick releases are used check them to make sure that they
are fully closed in their end position. If quick release axle
systems are used, make sure that all attachment screws are
tightened to the correct torque.
Be alert to any unusual operating sensations when braking,
pedalling or steering.

Raising the kickstand
Before the ride, raise the kickstand completely with
your foot.
Parking the bicycle
Before parking, lower the kickstand completely with
your foot.
Park the bicycle carefully and check that it is stable.
Crash caused by a lowered kickstand
The kickstand does not fold up automatically. There is
a risk of crashing if riding with the kickstand lowered.
Raise the kickstand completely before the ride.
The heavy weight of the bicycle may cause the

Operation
7.4 Using the pannier rack
Crash caused by loaded pannier rack
The riding performance of the bicycle changes with a
loaded pannier rack, in particular when steering and
braking. This can lead to a loss of control. This may
cause you to fall from the bicycle and injure yourself.
You should practice how to use a loaded pannier
rack safely and reliably before using the bicycle in
public spaces.
Crash caused by unsecured luggage
Loose or unsecured objects on the pannier rack, e.g.
belts, may become caught in the rear wheel. This may
cause you to fall from the bicycle and injure yourself.
Objects which are fastened to the pannier rack may
cover the bicycle's reflectors and the driving light. The
bicycle may be overseen on public roads. This may
cause you to fall from the bicycle and injure yourself.
Secure any objects which are attached to the
pannier rack sufficiently.
Objects fastened to the pannier rack must never
cover the reflectors, the headlight or the rear light.
Crushing the fingers in the spring flap
The spring flap on the pannier rack operates with a high

MY19-P073_1.0_09.11.2018 81
Operation
Crash caused by brake failure
Oil or lubricant on the brake disc in a disc brake or on
the rim of a rim brake can cause the brake to fail
completely. This may cause a crash with serious
injuries as a consequence.
Never allow oil or lubricant to come into contact with
the brake disc or brake linings or on the rim of a rim
brake.
If the brake linings have come into contact with oil
or lubricant, contact a dealer or a workshop to have
the components cleaned or replaced.
If the brakes are applied continuously for a long time
(e.g. while riding downhill for a long time), the fluid in
the brake system may heat up. This may create a
vapour bubble. This will cause air bubbles or any water
contained in the brake system to expand. This may
suddenly make the lever travel wider. This may cause
a crash with serious injuries.
Release the brake regularly when riding downhill for
a longer period of time.
Crash caused by wet conditions
The tyres may slip on wet roads. In wet conditions you
must also expect a longer braking distance. The
braking sensation differs from the usual sensation.
This can cause loss of control or a crash, which may
result in injuries.
Ride slowly and brake in good time.

Operation
Crash caused by incorrect use
Handling the brake improperly can lead to loss of
control or crashes, which may result in injuries.
Shift your body weight back and down as far as
possible.
Practise braking and emergency braking before the
bicycle is used in public spaces.
Never use the bicycle if you can feel no resistance
when pulling on the brake handle. Consult a
specialist dealer.
Crash after cleaning or storage
The brake system is not designed for use on a bicycle
which is placed on its side or turned upside down. The
brake may not function correctly as a result. This can
cause a crash, which may result in injuries.
If the bicycle is placed on its side or turned upside
down, apply the brake a couple of times before
setting off to ensure that it functions normally.
Never use the bicycle if it no longer brakes as
normal. Consult a specialist dealer.
Burns caused by heated brake
The brakes may become very hot during operation.
There is a risk of burns or fire in case of contact.
Never touch the components of the brake directly
after the ride.

Operation
The drive force of the motor is shut off during the ride
as soon as the rider no longer pedals. The drive
system does not switch off when braking.
In order to achieve optimum braking results, do not
pedal while braking.
7.6.1 Using the brake lever
Figure 45: Front (2) and rear (1) brake lever; Shimano brake used as an
example
Pull the left brake lever for the front wheel brake and
the right lever for the rear wheel brake until the
desired speed is reached.
7.6.2 Using the back-pedal brake
Alternative
The best braking effect is achieved if the pedals are in
the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock position when braking. To
bridge the free travel between the riding movement
and the braking movement, it is recommendable to
pedal a little beyond the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock
position before you pedal in the opposite direction to
the direction of travel and start braking.
Pedal in the opposite direction to the direction of
travel until the desired speed has been reached.

7.7 Suspension and damping
7.7.1 Adjusting the compression of the Suntour fork
Alternative
The compression adjuster makes it possible to make
quick adjustments to the suspension behaviour of the
fork to suit changes in terrain. It is intended for
adjustments made during the ride.
Figure 46: Suntour compression adjuster with the OPEN (1) and LOCK(2)
positions
Compression damping is lowest in the OPEN
position, making the fork feel softer. Use the LOCK
position if you want the fork to feel stiffer and you
are riding on soft ground. The lever positions
between the OPEN and LOCK positions enable fine
adjustment of compression damping.
We recommend setting the lever of the compression
adjuster to the OPEN position first.

8.3.5 Offsetting the brake lining wear
8.3.5.1 Hydraulically operated rim brake
Alternative
The setting bolt on the brake lever of the hydraulic rim
brake is used to offset the brake lining wear. If the
profile of the brake linings has a remaining depth of
just 1 mm, the brake linings need to be replaced.
In order to reduce the free travel and offset the
brake lining wear, screw the setting bolt in.
In order to increase the free travel, screw the setting
bolt out.
With the optimum setting the pressure point, i.e. the
point at which the brake takes effect, is reached
after 10 mm of free travel.

8.4.1 Child seat
Crash caused by incorrect child seat
Neither the pannier rack nor the bicycle down tube are
suitable for child seats and may break. Such an
incorrect position may cause a crash with serious
injuries for the rider and the child.
Never attach a child seat to the saddle, handlebars
or down tube.
Crash caused by improper handling
When using child seats, the riding properties and the
stability of the bicycle change considerably. This can
cause a loss of control, a crash and injuries.
You should practice how to use the child seat safely
and reliably before using the bicycle in public
spaces.
Risk of crushing due to exposed springs
The child may crush his/her fingers on exposed
springs or open mechanical parts of the saddle or the
seat post.
Never install saddles with exposed springs if a child
seat is being used.
Never install seat posts with suspension with open
mechanical parts or exposed springs if a child seat
is being used.
Observe the legal regulations on the use of child
seats.
Observe the operating and safety notes for the child
seat system.
Never exceed the total weight of the bicycle.
