PRE-RIDE CHECK 

This is a Quick Start Guide, not an

Owner’s manual. 

Bicycling is an active sport with 

inherent risk. A wide range of injuries 

are possible. Due to the nature of 

bicycle riding, the situations you 

encounter while riding, you will be 

exposed to the risk of serious injury, 

paralysis or death. This risk cannot 

be eliminated. You can minimize the 

risk in many ways. Begin by reading 

the complete Cannondale Bicycle 

Owner’s manual accompanying 

this bike and available online at 

www.cannondale.com, particularly 

section “IMPORTANT SAFETY 

INFORMATION”.

First up, thank you for buying a new Cannondale bike – we’re excited to 

have you on board and to get you out riding as soon as possible. Our new 

assembly process is easy-to-follow – using methods outlined in this guide 

to assemble your new Cannondale at home, plus it’s even easier to do so 

with a friend. Our guide will take you through the simple steps from start 

to finish – you can also follow along with a how-to video, as you build your 

bike, just visit:

 [email protected]

If you still have any questions, then our Cannondale rider support staff are 

ready to help you. Feel free to give us a call at

 1-800-245-3872 (BIKE USA).

Also, when your new bike is all assembled and ready to ride, we’d love to 

check it out – please don’t forget to tag #ridecannondale in your social 

media. Enjoy the ride!
