Tire/Rim Clearance; Intended Use Of The Zfs-5 Bicycle - Cervélo ZFS-5 RETAILER Assembly Manual

TIRE/RIM CLEARANCE

Your Cervélo bicycle complies with the ISO 4210-2:4.10.2 standard for tire clearance. In order to comply with these safety standards and
maintain your Limited Lifetime Warranty, a minimum of 6 mm of clearance must remain between the tire and any frame element. Due to
the growing complexity of tire and rim interfaces, Cervélo recommends identifying the available space before choosing a tire.

1. Measure the space between the chainstays at
the bottom bracket junction.
2. Measure the space between the seatstays at the
top of the tire.
3. Using the smallest of those two numbers,
subtract 12 mm (6 mm per side) to determine
the remaining space.
4. With the tire installed and fully inflated on your
wheel, measure the widest of the rim or tire
width to ensure that it fits.
Contact between the tire or rim and the frame
or fork may result in a loss of control while
riding and potentially serious injury. Failure to
follow these guidelines may result in damage
to the frame not covered by Cervélo Limited
Lifetime Warranty.

INTENDED USE OF THE ZFS-5 BICYCLE

Understand your bike and its intended use. Choosing the wrong bicycle
for your purpose can be hazardous. Using your bike the wrong way is
dangerous.
Your retailer can help you select the right bike for you and help you
understand its limitations. On the following pages, we outline the general
intended uses of the various types of Cervélo bikes.
NOTE: Cervélo bicycles are tested to a maximum combined
bicycle/rider/luggage weight of 100 kg. Components have
different weight limits, and if replaced can alter the maximum
safe bike weight limit. Consult your retailer or Cervélo
Customer Service about what components are appropriate for
your bicycle.
Cross-County, Marathon, Hardtails - Condition 3
Bikes designed for riding Conditions 1 and 2, plus off road use including
rough trails, small obstacles, and smooth technical areas, including areas
where momentary loss of tire contact with the ground may occur. Jumps
should be no more than 24" (61 cm).
Intended For cross-country riding and racing which ranges from mild to
aggressive over intermediate terrain (e.g., hilly with small obstacles like
roots, rocks, loose surfaces, hard pack and depressions). Cross country and
marathon equipment (tires, shocks, frames, drivetrains) are light weight,
favoring nimble speed over brute force. Suspension travel is relatively
short since the bike is intended to move quickly on the ground and not
spend time in the air landing hard and hammering over obstacles.
Maximum Weight Limit - Cervélo ZFS-5
Rider 194 lbs 88 kg
11 lbs 5 kg
Gear*
Total 220.5 lbs 100 kg
*Seat bag / water bottles / bento bag / handlebar bottle / storage mounts only
Not Intended
For extreme forms of riding including Freeriding, Downhill,
Gravity, Dirt Jumping, or other aggressive riding styles.
Trade-Off Cross-country bikes are lighter, faster to ride uphill, and more nimble
than All Mountain bikes. Cross-country and marathon bikes trade off some
ruggedness for pedaling efficiency and uphill speed.
