General Purpose Riding
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 paved roads, gravel or dirt roads that are
in good condition, and bike paths.
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.

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 pedaling efficiency and uphill speed.

All Mountain
CONDITION 4
Bikes designed for riding Conditions
1, 2, and 3, plus rough technical areas,
moderately sized obstacles, and small
jumps.
INTENDED For trail and uphill riding.
All-Mountain bicycles are: (1) more heavy duty than cross
country bikes, but less heavy duty than Freeride bikes, (2)
lighter and more nimble than Freeride bikes,
(3) heavier and have more suspension travel than a cross
country bike, allowing them to be ridden in more difficult
terrain, over larger obstacles and moderate jumps, (4)
intermediate in suspension travel and use components
that fit the intermediate intended use, (5) cover a fairly
wide range of intended use, and within this range are
models that are more or less heavy duty. Talk to your
retailer about your needs and these models.
NOT INTENDED For use in extreme forms of jumping/
riding such as hardcore mountain, Freeriding, Downhill,
North Shore, Dirt Jumping, Hucking etc. No large
drop offs, jumps or launches (wooden structures, dirt
embankments) requiring long suspension travel or heavy
duty components; and no spending time in the air landing
hard and hammering through obstacles.
TRADE OFF All-Mountain bikes are more rugged than
cross country bikes, for riding more difficult terrain. All-
Mountain bikes are heavier and harder to ride uphill than
