resulting in injury or death. Changes in weight distribution and aerodynamic forces can affect handling. Never exceed the rear rack load
limit of 20lbs.

Optional saddlebags are available for both the Halcyon and Phoenix models.

The Halcyon saddlebags

have a 5lb capacity. Any items carried in the saddlebags must fit within the bag such that the bag can be closed and
