NOT INTENDED For off-road or mountain bike use,
or for any kind of jumping. Some of these bikes have
suspension features, but these features are designed to
add comfort, not off-road capability. Some come with
relatively wide tires that are well suited to gravel or dirt
paths. Some come with relatively narrow tires that are
best suited to faster riding on pavement. If you ride on
gravel or dirt paths, carry heavier loads or want more tire
durability talk to your dealer about wider tires.

Cyclo-cross
CONDITION 2 Bikes designed for riding
Condition 1, plus smooth gravel roads
and improved trails with moderate grades
where the tires do not lose ground
contact.
INTENDED For cyclo-cross riding, train-
ing and racing. Cyclo-cross involves riding
on a variety of terrain and surfaces in-
cluding dirt or mud surfaces. Cyclo-cross bikes also work
well for all weather rough road riding and commuting.
NOT INTENDED For off road or mountain bike use, or
jumping. Cyclo-cross riders and racers dismount before
reaching an obstacle, carry their bike over the obstacle
and then remount. Cyclo-cross bikes are not intended
for mountain bike use. The relatively large road bike size
wheels are faster than the smaller mountain bike wheels,
but not as strong.

Cross-Country, Marathon, Hardtails
CONDITION 3 Bikes designed for riding
Conditions 1 and 2, plus rough trails,
small obstacles, and smooth technical
areas, including areas where momentary
loss of tire contact with the ground may
occur. NOT jumping. All mountain bikes
without rear suspension are Condition
3, and so are some lightweight rear
suspension models.
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 and hard pack and depressions). Cross-country
and marathon equipment (tires, shocks, frames, drive
trains) 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.
NOT INTENDED For Hardcore Freeriding, Extreme
Downhill, Dirt Jumping, Slopestyle, or very aggressive or
extreme riding. No spending time in the air landing hard
and hammering through obstacles.
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
pedalling efficiency and uphill speed
