INTRODUCTION
The symbols DANGER and WARNING inform about a dan-
gerous situation that, if not avoided, may cause an acci-
dent. An accident while riding a bicycle always poses risk
of serious injury or even death. In this manual, the risk of
death may therefore not always be mentioned when these
symbols appear, since the risk is explained here.
This technical manual contains important information about your bicycle, its
use, maintenance and replacement parts. Please read it carefully.
This document is a supplement to the General User’s Manual for Orbea bicycles
and components, which describes in a more detailed manner their appropriate
use and the adjustment of the general components of the bicycles for safe
riding and operation. You can see and download the User’s Manual and the rest
of the technical manuals for Orbea products from our website:
www.orbea.com/us-en/soporte/manuales
You can consult the information on the use, maintenance and characteristics
of the components of other manufacturers that are assembled on our bicycles,
such as wheels, handlebars, pedaling assistance systems, suspension forks,
etc, on the manufacturer’s website or through their dealer in your country.
