OWNER’S MANUAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Always follow these instructions for protective equipment at every ride to limit risk of injuries in
case of an accident. KUBERG Start, Trial E and Cross is intended for OFF ROAD use and therefore
there is a high likelihood of dirt and other debris thrown into the air, which represents a risk of an
injury. Also there is a high possibility of an accident or a fall.
The rider should use and wear:
1
A high quality helmet approved by your country’s governing body
2
A helmet face-shield or goggles
3
Protective clothing that covers rider’s legs, ankles, torso and arms
4
Wrist, knee and elbow protection
5
Heavy boots
6
Gloves made from tear resistant materials (leather or kevlar)
7
Motorcycle jacket from tear resistant materials (leather or Kevlar)
8
Clothing that is brightly colored so other motorists and traffic participants can see you
WARNING: THE RIDER MUST WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, ESPECIALLY HELMET,
BOOTS AND EYE PROTECTION.
HELMETS
There is no single factor that works better at reducing the severity of injuries sustained in acci-
dents more than a quality helmet. Don’t ever allow your KUBERG motorcycle to be ridden without
a helmet.
CLOTHING
Motorcycle leathers can prevent abrasion injuries in the event of a fall. Failure to use appropriate
safety equipment greatly increases the likelihood of death or serious injury in the event of an
accident.
Never wear loose-fitting clothes, otherwise they could catch on wheels, chains, control levers
or footrests.
Do not wear shoes with laces as these can get caught in motorcycle’s chain or wheels and
result in a serious injury.
Boots should not have laces.
