This puts the brake on the front wheel so your bike is safely parked. KEVIN'S TIP Always use the handbrake when mounting and dismounting.
Product description The Orthros consists of several parts. We describe the most important parts in this section. BICYCLE FRAME The frame of the Orthros consists of a tubular metal construction supplemented by aluminum and stainless steel parts. Most metal parts are phosphated and then given an impact-resistant powder coating.
Proper tension of the spokes ensures a stable bike. Because new spoke wheels run in, your Orthros' spokes should be checked and tightened after 200 kilometers or 2 months. Your Huka dealer can take care of this. Should a spoke break or become loose, please consult your Huka dealer immediately.
Orthros pedals lightly and you hardly hear the chain. If you notice that a chain is too slack, have it adjusted by your Huka dealer. BRAKES The Orthros is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes on the front wheel and on both rear wheels.
HANDLEBAR The Orthros' handlebars are made of steel or aluminum. This depends on the handlebar model. The handlebars can be adjusted in height and angle. With some models of handlebars, you can also adjust the angle and depth of the handlebars.
LUGGAGE CARRIER An optional basket on the back of the bike is available to carry luggage. Ask your Huka dealer so that the right materials are used and the basket is fitted safely. Distribute the luggage on the carrier as well as possible. The maximum load is 20 kg.
ELECTRIC PEDAL ASSISTANCE The Orthros is equipped with electric pedal assistance. The Orthros has a motor in the rear frame and a battery under the seat. On the handlebar is a display with controls. Display Motor in rear frame Battery...
DISPLAY The Orthros is equipped with a display that shows the status of the battery. The display also shows the speed, ride distance (Trip) and total distance (ODO). By briefly pressing the power button, you can scroll through the menu. With the plus and minus button you can select the assistance level.
ACCESSORIES The Orthros can be expanded with various accessories. Think armrest, foot fixation, mirrors, shopping basket and footplate. enquire about the accessories at the Huka dealer who supplied the Orthros. Freewheel activated Basket at rear Footrest folding...
It is important that all parts on the bike are tight. Different parts should be tightened with a torque. Use a torque spanner for this. The table below shows values for correct tightening torques. If in doubt, consult your Huka dealer for advice.
Optimal use Upon delivery of your new Huka, the components are properly adjusted to your body and tailored to your needs. To make sure you sit comfortably, there are adjustment options to flexibly adjust the seating system and handlebars. SEAT DEPTH ADJUSTMENT To adjust the seat depth, the following actions apply: 1.
Saddles and handlebars should be securely fastened. A loose saddle or handlebar increases the risk of dangerous situations in traffic. Good posture also depends on the right handlebar height that can be adjusted. • The handles should generally be at rider waist level. •...
ADJUST STEERING ANGLE 1. Use a size 6 Allen spanner to loosen the bolt at the front of the stem three turns. 2. Slide the handlebar to the desired angle. Make sure the handlebar stays center in the clamp of the stem. 3.
Check tire pressure and tread regularly for optimum grip on the road. This prevents unnecessary tire wear. Moreover, it makes cycling more pleasant and has a positive influence on braking and steering movements. The Orthros has tires with a bicycle valve. The right tire pressure is between 3 and 5 bar.
FIXING A FLAT TIRE Got a flat tire on the Orthros? Your Huka dealer can fix the tire, of course. But should you want to do it yourself, here are the instructions. Needed: a repair kit (with tire levers, glue, stickers and sandpaper, stand or jack, scissors, bicycle pump and a bucket of water).
TIP FROM KEVIN A malfunction contact your Huka dealer immediately. Do not use the bike until the fault is fixed This will shoot down slightly, after which the handlebar stem will be loose. WHEELS The wheels ensure light running and high riding comfort. Properly inflated tires and tightly tensioned spokes are important for optimal cycling comfort.
The brake can easily be adjusted slightly tighter with the adjustment bolt on the inside of the brake lever. Are the brakes not adjustable or does the Orthros still not brake properly? Then have it checked and adjusted by your Huka dealer.
