Category 1 represents the use of DT Swiss components on mainly paved surfaces. The
ground contact of the tires can be lost unintentionally for a short time.

Category 2 represents the use of DT Swiss components under the conditions of
category 1 as well as on mostly paved and partly unpaved surfaces with a slight
gradient. The tires may briefly lose contact with the ground when riding over steps up
to 15 cm in height.

Category 3 represents the use of DT Swiss components under the conditions of
categories 1 and 2 as well as on paved and rough, unpaved surfaces by riders with
advanced riding skills. The tires may not always be in contact with the ground.
Occasional steps / jumps of approx. 60 cm height are permitted. Due to the weight-

optimized design of the components, despite complying with these conditions, this use
can also cause damage to the material in the event of riding errors, which can also lead
to injuries to the rider.
Category 4 represents the use of DT Swiss components under the conditions of
categories 1, 2 and 3 as well as in very rough, blocked terrain with jumps / steps up to
approx. 120 cm height and speeds up to 40 km/h by riders with very good riding skills.
DT Swiss components in this category must be checked for possible damage after each

ride due to the high loads. Impairments of the product service life cannot be ruled out.
Category 5 represents the use of DT Swiss components under the conditions of
categories 1, 2, 3 and 4 as well as in extremely steep and rough terrain with very large
jumps / steps and speeds above 40 km/h by riders with exceptionally good riding skills.
DT Swiss components in this category may also be used in bike parks and on downhill

tracks. DT Swiss components in this category must be checked for possible damage
after each ride due to the very high loads, since existing damage can lead to failure of
the component even at significantly lower loads during subsequent usage. The product
service life can be impacted by this extreme use.
