INTENDED USE

To define the intended purposes for the differ-
ent types of bicycles, we have classified our
bikes in different categories. The purpose of
this classification is to define the test require-
ments 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
should not exceed 120 kg. Under certain cir-
cumstances this permissible maximum weight
can be further limited by the component man-
ufacturers' 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.
Canyon bikes are not approved in
general for mounting child carriers.
INTENDED USE
CONDITION 1
Bikes of this category are designed for rid-
ing on hard-surface roads where the wheels
remain in permanent contact to the ground.
These are in general road racing bicycles with
racing handlebars or straight handlebars, tri-
athlon or time trial bicycles. The rider's maxi-
mum weight incl. baggage should not exceed
120 kg. Under certain circumstances this
permissible maximum weight can be further
limited by the component manufacturers' rec-
ommendations for use.
Canyon bikes are not approved for
towing trailers.
Mounting a pannier rack is not per-
mitted. The only way of riding with
baggage is by using a special bicycle back-
pack.
Canyon road bikes are intended to
be only used on free rollers (bicy-
cle rollers without brake). Do not use the
Canyon road bike on a bicycle trainer to
which it is attached in any way.
