MOD SHOCK SAFETY GUIDELINES
• MOD shocks sets produced by FORMULA S.a.S are designed exclusively for use on
two wheels bicycles. Any other use is to be considered hazardous. FORMULA S.a.S
shall not be held liable for any consequences from improper usage.
• The lifespan of MOD shock depends on many factors, such as rider size and weight,
spring and frame used and normal wear and tear on the bicycles.
• Check the condition of the spring regularly and replace it when necessary.
• Impact, falls, excessive, improper or harsh use of the bicycle may compromise the
structural integrity of the shocks, significantly reducing their lifespan. Short life-
wheel components need to be replaced more often.
• Have the shock regularly inspected by a qualified mechanic for any cracks, deforma-
tion, signs of fatigue or wear.
• If inspection reveals any deformation, cracks, signs of impact or stress, no matter
how slight, immediately replace (not repair) the component. Excessively worn com-
ponents also require immediate replacement.
• The frequency at which inspection is required depends on many factors. Ask a FOR-
MULA S.a.S dealer to recommend an inspection and service schedule that is right
for you.
• Use of the product by individuals who weigh more than 120kg/265Ibs is not recom-
mended. If you weigh more than 120kg/265Ibs be especially careful and have the
bike inspected more frequently.
• Parts which have been bent or damaged in an accident or as the result of impact,
must be immediately replaced with genuine FORMULA S.a.S replacement parts.
• Check with a qualified mechanic to ensure that the selected MOD shock is suitable
for the required type of use and to establish an inspection and service schedule that
is right for you.
• Tools supplied by other manufacturers for wheels similar to MOD shock may not be
