INTENDED USE

INTENDED USE
To define the intended purposes for the different types of bicycles, we have classified our bikes in different
categories. The purpose of this classification is to define the test requirements complying with the respective
stress as early as during the development of our bikes. This is to ensure the highest possible level of safety for
the use of our bikes.
It is therefore of major importance that the bikes are not used under conditions beyond the intended use, as this
bears the risk that the bikes' maximum load is exceeded and the frame or other components are damaged. This
can result in severe crashes.
The rider's maximum weight incl. baggage must not exceed 120 kg. Under certain circumstances this permissi-
ble maximum weight can be further limited by the component manufacturers' recommendations for use.
The frame of your bike is marked according to one of the following symbols indicating the category your bike
belongs to. If you are not sure about the category your bike belongs to, contact our service centre.
Condition 0
This category is intended for children's bicycles. Chil-
dren should not ride near precipices, staircases or
swimming pools nor on paths used by automotive mo-
biles. In general, this applies to bicycles with wheel
sizes of 12 to 24 inches.
Condition 1
Bikes of this category are designed for riding on
hard-surface roads where the wheels remain in
permanent contact to the ground. These are in gen-
eral road racing bicycles with racing handlebars or
straight handlebars, triathlon or time trial bicycles.
The rider's maximum weight incl. baggage should
not exceed 120 kg. Under certain circumstances this
permissible maximum weight can be further limited
by the component manufacturers' recommendations
for use.
Condition 2
Bicycles of category 1 and bicycles designed for well
paved gravel paths and off-road trails with a slight
slope where a short loss of tyre contact with the
ground due to small steps can occur. This condition
comprises urban and city bikes as well as cyclocross
bikes with road racing handlebars and cantilever or
disc brakes.

Mounting a pannier rack to the carbon
seat post of your Urban bike is not permit-
