Page 28: Adjusting The Optimum Sitting Position
BEFORE PUTTING THE BIKE INTO SERVICE 14 Adjusting the optimum sitting position CAUTION Risk of injury! The incorrect sitting position can cause muscle tension and joint pain. If you have limited access to the controls on the handlebars due to an incorrectly adjusted sitting position, the risk of accidents increases. -
Page 29: Pedal Drive
PEDAL DRIVE PEDAL DRIVE 15 General information The term “pedal drive” refers to the process or the associated unit with which the bike is basically propelled (manually). The power applied when you push the pedals (pedalling) is transmitted to one of the wheels via the chain (chain drive). -
Page 30: Wear And Maintenance
PEDAL DRIVE 16.2 Wear and maintenance Chain ring Sprocket Fig. 3: Possible signs of wear on chain drive components Chain ring and sprocket If the teeth on the chain ring and/or the sprocket are worn due to material abrasion, move- ment of the chain on the corresponding gear wheel is not as reliable and it can slip off easily. -
Page 31: Brakes
BRAKES BRAKES 17 General information The bike is fitted with at least two brakes which act on the front wheel (front wheel brake) and rear wheel (rear wheel brake) independently of one another. You can slow down or stop the bike using the brakes. This basically happens by applying one brake to slow down the corresponding wheel and thus decelerate the entire bike. -
Page 32: Warnings On Use Of Brakes
BRAKES 19 Warnings on use of brakes The following warnings always apply to the use of the brakes, regardless of the type or types of brakes fitted on the bike. WARNING Risk of accident and injury! When you ride on icy, wet, slippery or dirty roads, the tyres have less grip. This lack of grip reduces the braking power, your braking distance increases and the bike can swing out if you brake suddenly. -
Page 33: Disc Brake
BRAKES WARNING Risk of accident and injury! If the bike is fitted with unsuitable or incorrect brake pads, the braking power can be either too low or too strong or the brake can virtually lose its function entirely and fail completely. »... -
Page 34: Warnings Relating To The Use Of Disc Brakes
BRAKES 20.2 Warnings relating to the use of disc brakes WARNING Risk of accident and injury! If components of the disc brake wear out without you noticing, a loss of function of the disc brake can result. » Contact your specialist dealer regularly (annually, after 500 hours of use or after 1,000 km) to have your disc brake(s) checked and any worn components replaced. -
Page 35: Operating The Disc Brake
BRAKES NOTICE Risk of damage! Depending on the intensity of use, the brake pads of the disc brake can "glaze" over time, possibly reducing the braking effect and generating annoying noises (squeaking). Glazing can also occur when you make an emergency stop with new brake pads. -
Page 36: Breaking In Disc Brakes
BRAKES 20.4 Breaking in disc brakes If a disc brake is new or has been fitted with new brake pads, always break it in before using your bike regularly. • Make sure that you - break in your disc brake away from road traffic, - follow any additional manufacturer’s instructions for breaking in your disc brake, - always remain seated on the saddle when braking for safety reasons and - do not brake your bike to a complete standstill, but simply reduce the speed to a... -
Page 37: Checking The Disc Brake
BRAKES 20.5 Checking the disc brake • Check whether the brake lever and brake components are securely fastened. - If necessary, tighten any loose screw connections. - Contact your specialist dealer to have the brake adjusted if you notice or have the impression that components are loose. -
Page 38: Adjustments
BRAKES 20.6 Adjustments WARNING Risk of accident and injury! Loss of braking power due to incorrectly adjusted brake system. » Adjustments to the brake system should be carried out by your specialist dealer. Specialist knowledge is required to adjust the brake system correctly. If you do not have the necessary expertise or the required tools, contact your specialist dealer to do this. -
Page 39: Gear Shift System
GEAR SHIFT SYSTEM GEAR SHIFT SYSTEM 21 General information WARNING Risk of accident and injury! Due to inattentiveness in road traffic. » Familiarise yourself with the gear shift system before your first ride. » Shift through the different gears to familiarise yourself with the riding characteristics of the bike in each gear. -

GEAR SHIFT SYSTEM 22 Operating elements Rear shift lever Front shift lever Fig. 6: Operating elements of the gear shift system 23 Derailleur gear Chain Chain ring (1-3) Sprocket Fig. 7: Derailleur gear components 23.1 Method of operation Depending on the model, a bike with a derailleur gear has 1–3 chain rings of different sizes at the same height as the pedals and 7–12 sprockets of different sizes at the rear wheel hub. -
Page 41: Operating The Derailleur Gear
GEAR SHIFT SYSTEM 23.2 Operating the derailleur gear • Operating element for the front derailleur: When shifting gears, the front derailleur moves the chain to the required chain ring. A small chain ring is recommended for ascending stretches of road while a larger chain ring is recommended for even stretches of road. -
Page 42: Wear And Maintenance
GEAR SHIFT SYSTEM 23.4 Wear and maintenance As a general rule, derailleur gear components show minimum signs of wear if maintained and cared for regularly. • Please note that the chain will wear more quickly if it runs at a steep angle (e.g. if the chain runs over the smallest chain ring and the smallest sprocket). -

Page 52: Suspension Fork
SUSPENSION FORK SUSPENSION FORK 30 General information WARNING Risk of accident and injury! An incorrectly adjusted suspension can affect the road-holding capability of your bike (depending on the condition of the road surface), which may increase the risk of accidents and injuries. Improper handling of suspension components under tension can result in injury. -
Page 53: Functionality And Terms
SUSPENSION FORK 30.1 Functionality and terms When the suspension is compressed, the corresponding damper rods retract into their mounts and compress the springs inside the suspension component. When the suspension is decompressed, the spring inside pushes the damper rods back to their original position. The spring tension determines the stiffness of the suspension fork under load and the resistance of the suspension fork to compression. -

SUSPENSION FORK 30.2 Spring tension and lock-out function Fig. 14: Mechanical spring tension (left) and lock-out function (right) on the suspension fork Adjusting the spring tension You can usually adjust the spring tension yourself if you have the necessary technical knowl- edge and tools. -
Page 55: Wear And Maintenance
SUSPENSION FORK Lock-out function The lock-out function is activated and deactivated using the rotary knob on the right stand tube of the suspension fork. The rotational direction for activating or deactivating the lock-out function depends on the model. INFORMATION You can use the lock-out function to lock the suspension fork completely, e.g. if you are pedalling hard and the suspension is adversely affecting your progress or riding comfort. -
