Under certain circumstances the permissible maximum weight can be further limited by the component manufacturers’ recommendations for use.
- Page 12 Condition 2 SCOTT Bicycles In general, SCOTT condition 2 bicycles (a-c) are used, for example, for leisure and trekking rides under moderate exertion. SCOTT condition 2 bicycles are for use on normal, paved surfaces, i.e. asphalted or paved roads and cycle lanes, as well as on unpaved roads and gravel paths of moderate grading.
