OWNER’S MANUAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Always follow these instructions for protective equipment for every ride in order to limit the risk
of injury in case of an accident. The KUBERG Freerider is intended for OFF ROAD use and there-
fore there is a high likelihood of dirt and other debris being thrown into the air, which presents a
risk of 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
A motorcycle jacket made from tear resistant materials (leather or Kevlar)
8
Clothing that is brightly colored so other vehicle users and pedestrians can see you
WARNING: THE RIDER MUST WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, ESPECIALLY HELMET,
BOOTS AND EYE PROTECTION.
HELMETS
There is no single factor that works best for reducing the severity of injuries sustained in accidents
more than a quality helmet. Don’t ever allow your KUBERG motorcycle to be ridden without
a helmet.
CLOTHING
Motorcycle leathers and padded protection for knees, back and arms 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; as these may 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 serious injury.
Boots should not have laces.
