You can use these bikes offroad. You must not use these
bikes in road traffic or competitions. If you wish to use
your bike on public roads, it must have the requisite
equipment features (see ➠ Chapter 5 "Legal provisions").
The manufacturer and cycle shop will not accept liability
claims should the bike not be used as intended.
This particularly applies for non-observance of the safety
information and damage resulting for example from:
• use in competitions,
• overloading,
• incorrect repairs.
• riding over steps,
• jumping,
• riding through deep water
• extreme stresses on non-designated MTB routes or
MTB courses.

Road bike / fitness bike

You may use these bikes on public roads for training pur-
poses. You may use road bikes weighing up to 11 kg with-
out permanently fitted dynamo lighting. If you choose to
do so, you must carry a battery-operated front light and a
rear light. If the light has the required approval, there will
be an embossed sinuous line and K-number on it.
When using road bikes that weigh more than 11 kg in road
traffic, the required equipment features must be installed.
Please familiarise yourself with the applicable regula-
tions.

BMX

These bikes are designed for BMX routes and/or BMX prac-
tice facilities.
In some EU countries, they are not approved for use in
road traffic, e.g. by the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations
(StVZO) in Germany, and in this case must not be used for
this purpose (see ➠ Chapter 5 "Legal provisions").Always
wear a helmet and protective clothing, such as elbow and
knee pads.
The brakes normally installed on BMX bikes produce a
less effective braking action. You should therefore bear in
mind that this increases the braking distance, especially
in wet conditions. Please test this thoroughly in a safe
location and always adjust your handling accordingly.
