ADJUSTABLE SEATPOST

With a low seating position, you have more control over your bike in 
challenging situations. If your bike is equipped with a dropper post, you 
can adjust the height of the seatpost while riding. It is operated via a 
remote lever on the handlebar. 
Pressing the lever will raise or lower the dropper post. As soon as you 
release the lever, the dropper post locks in position. If you have any 
questions about the use and adjustment of the adjustable seatpost or if 
you experience any problems, please contact your dealer.

 WARNING

SERIOUS FALLS DUE TO A KINKED OR BROKEN SEATPOST.

• Use the proper torque wrench for the tightening range when making 

adjustments.

• Ensure all quick-release systems are correctly tightened before you 

ride. Check all quick releases before using.

• Only use your bike for its intended purpose. This may not include going 

downhill.

• Check the seatpost regularly for damage and a secure fit, especially 

after every fall. Do not ride it again if there is any damage. Replace the 
seatpost.

• Replace the seatpost after 14,000 kilometres regardless of the 

condition of the material or whether or not defects or damage are 
noticeable. 

• If you do not replace the seatpost in due time, it can break and cause 

serious falls.

       WARNING

SEVERE FALLS DUE TO A BLOCKED REAR WHEEL

• Before your first ride, check whether the rear wheel is blocked when the 
seat post is lowered. If the saddle touches the rear wheel in its lowest po-
sition, you need to reduce the insertion depth of the seat post. Make sure, 
however, that the seat post is inserted at least 100 mm in the seat tube.
