WARNING
!
Accidents due to manipulation
Modified or manipulated ABS components or use
of non-authorised replacement components will
have an adverse effect on the ABS function. This
may cause a crash with serious injuries.
 Always carry out maintenance work and repairs
correctly.
 Replace defective components with original parts
only.
CAUTION
!
Damage to components or risk of crushing
There is a gap between the ABS control unit and
the frame. Components or body parts can be
crushed if the handlebars are turned completely.
This can cause injuries or damage to
components.
 Ensure you do not pinch any components such
as brake cables, wiring or parts of your body
between the frame and the ABS control unit.
 If you wish to fasten accessories to the
handlebars, ensure that handlebars can move
freely to each side by at least 60° from their
central position. You can prevent fingers
becoming trapped with a clearance of 25 mm.
Steering limiters should be used if necessary.
6.13.3.1

While riding

The anti-blocking system indicator lamp must light
up after the system has started up and must go
out once speed has reached about 5 km/h. If the
ABS indicator lamp does not light up when the
electric drive system starts, the ABS is defective.
An error code on the display also tells the rider
that it is defective. If the indicator lamp does not
go out after you set off or it lights up while you are
riding, this means there is an error in the anti-
blocking system. The anti-blocking system is then
no longer active. The brake system itself remains
functional. It is only the anti-blocking system
control which no longer operates. If the ABS
indicator lamp is lit, the ABS function is not active
MY20H02-12_1.0_12.06.2019
 Adjust your riding to the current environmental
conditions and your personal riding skills
 Remember that the anti-blocking system can
make your braking distance longer.
 Reduce your speed on slippery ground. Brake in
bursts and in good time.
Notice
The anti-blocking system indicator lamp may light up
if the front and rear wheels are rotating at widely
different speeds from one another – for example, if
the rider cycles on the rear wheel only or if a wheel
is rotating for a unusually long time without making
contact with the ground (fitting stand). The anti-
blocking system switches off in such cases.
 You need to stop and restart the pedelec (switch
off and on again) to reactivate the anti-blocking
system.

Suspension and damping

6.14.1 Adjusting the compression of the
Fox fork
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The compression adjuster makes it possible to
make quick adjustments to the suspension
behaviour of the fork to suit changes in terrain. It
is intended for adjustments made during the ride.
Figure 84: FOX compression adjuster with the OPEN (1)
and HARD (2) positions
 Compression damping is lowest in the OPEN po-
sition, making the fork feel softer. Use the HARD
position if you want to the fork feel stiffer and you
are riding on soft ground. The lever positions be-
tween the OPEN and HARD positions enable fine
adjustment of compression damping.
We recommend setting the lever of the compres-
sion adjuster to the OPEN mode position first.
