WELCOME
DEAR CANYON CUSTOMER,
In this manual we have compiled for you lots of tips
on how to use your Canyon road bike, instructions for
maintenance and care, plus a wealth of things worth
knowing on bicycle technology. Please read this man-
ual 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, please
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" and
see chapter "Intended use" to read up on how to
use your new road 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 road 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 also to 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 plenty of service informa-
tion 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, please contact
our service hotline +44 (0) 20 8501 2582!
Please note: This manual cannot teach you all me-
chanical skills. 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 it 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.
Please be aware that cycling is a hazardous activity
that requires that the rider stays in control of his or
her bike at all times.
Like any sport, cycling involves 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.
Therefore, always ride carefully and respect the other
traffic participants. Never ride under the influence of
drugs, medication, 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 handlebars.
Before you set off please note: Always ride carefully
so as not to endanger yourself or others. Please re-
spect nature when touring through forests and mead-
ows. Make it a habit to only ride with appropriate
equipment. At least you should wear a properly ad-
justed bike helmet, sturdy shoes and suitable, bright
coloured clothing.
Your Canyon team wishes you lots of fun and enjoy-
ment with your bike!
