DEAR CANYON CUSTOMER,
In this manual we have compiled for you lots of tips on
how to use your Canyon bike, instructions for mainte-
nance and care plus a wealth of things worth knowing
on bicycle technology. Read this manual thoroughly.
You will find it worth your while; even if you have cy-
cled all your life and feel like a veteran with your new
bike. Bicycle technology has developed tremendously
over the past few years.
For your enjoyment and safety when cycling on your
Canyon, read the complete first part of this manual
thoroughly and
strictly follow the assembly instructions given in
chapter "Assembly from the BikeGuard",
read chapter "Before your first ride",
see chapter "Intended use" to read up on how to use
your new bike and on the permitted overall weight
(rider, clothing and baggage) and
carry out the minimum functional check before
every ride. For more details on how to proceed, read
chapter "Before every ride" of this manual. Do not
ride your bike unless it has passed the functional
check one hundred per cent!
On the digital data medium enclosed with this manual
you will find a number of maintenance and repair rou-
tines in detail. When carrying out these routines, be
aware that the instructions and information provided
in your manual only refer to this Canyon bike and that
they do not necessarily apply to other bikes. Due to
numerous designs and model changes, it may be that
some of the routines are not described in every detail.
For this reason be sure to also observe the operating
instructions of our component suppliers enclosed
with the BikeGuard.
Note that the instructions and tips may require fur-
ther explanation depending on various factors, such
as the experience and skills of the person doing the
work or the tools being used, and some jobs may re-
quire additional (special) tools or measures not de-
scribed in the manual.
Furthermore, you will find numerous service movies
on our website www.canyon.com that will help you
carry out small repair and maintenance works.
For your own safety, never do work on your bicycle
unless you feel absolutely sure about it. If you are in
doubt or if you have any questions, contact our ser-
vice hotline +44 208 5496001!
Note: This manual cannot teach you the skills of a bi-
cycle mechanic. Even a manual as big as an encyclo-
paedia could not describe every possible combination
of available bicycles and components. For this reason
this manual focuses on your newly purchased bike
and standard components by drawing your attention
to important notes and warnings. It does, however,
not teach you the basic skills of a bike mechanic or
help you assemble a complete bike from the Canyon
frameset!
This manual cannot teach you how to ride. For this
reason this manual focuses on your newly purchased
bike by drawing your attention to the most important
notes and warnings. This manual cannot teach you
riding a bike or make you familiar with the traffic
rules.
Be aware that cycling is a hazardous activity that re-
quires that the rider stays in control of his or her bike
at all times.
Like any sport, bicycling involves the risk of injury
and damage. By choosing to ride a bike, you assume
the responsibility for the risk. Always keep in mind
that you have no protection technique around you,
which could avoid injuries, such as e.g. the bodywork
or the airbag of a car.
Observe the road traffic rules in the country where
you use your Canyon Urban bike. Therefore, always
ride carefully and respect the other traffic partici-
pants.
Never ride under drugs, alcohol or when you are tired.
Do not ride with a second person on your bike and
never ride without having your hands on the handle-
bars.
Before you set off note: Always ride carefully so as not
to endanger yourself or others. Respect nature when
touring through forests and meadows. Make it a habit
to only ride with appropriate equipment. At least you
should wear a properly adjusted bike helmet, sturdy
shoes and suitable, bright coloured clothing.
Your Canyon team wishes you lots of fun and enjoy-
ment with your bike!
