Transporting gear
Handlebars
You have the option of adjusting the incline of your
handlebars to suit your gripping position. To do so,
loosen the handlebar clamping screw [ M4 Allen key/
Torx T25 ].
You can now turn the handlebars in the stem and align
it to suit your needs. Position it so that your wrists are
relaxed and are not twisted too far to the outside.
Once you have found the right gripping position,
tighten the handlebar clamping screw by applying
the specified tightening torque. Make sure that the
handlebars are centred in the stem clamp. Attempt
to turn the handlebars in relation to the stem to check
the clamping connection.
Please consider the maximum bike weight as
specified in Chapter “Proper use” on p. 26.
The maximum weight is normally the sum of all
elements, including gear. Do not exceed this
weight when transporting gear.
If you mount additional luggage racks on your bike,
make sure that they comply with the requirements
of DIN 14872.
Also make sure that the mounted parts on your bike
are approved for mounting such bike racks. Please
observe the manufacturer's specifications.
Brake and shifter grips
You have the option of adjusting the incline of your
brake and shifter levers to your gripping position on
the handlebars.
For this, loosen the Allen key or Torx screws located
on the brackets. Turn the brake and/or shifter lever
to your preferred position and tighten the clamping
screws by applying the prescribed tightening
torques.
You can also adjust the distance of the lever with
respect to the handlebars in order to adjust them to
your preferred finger position. Use the Allen screw
on the lever for this. Once you have found the desired
reach, make sure there is adequate space for apply-
ing the brake pads to the brake discs without the
brake lever coming into contact with the handlebars.
Adjusting the bike to the user
Make sure that the clamping surfaces are clean and
free of grease. If applicable, use the carbon fitting
lubricant to reduce the clamping forces.
Please consult the instructions provided by the
brake manufacturer.
Insufficient braking effectiveness.
It may not be
possible to push the brake lever down to the handle-
bar for maximum braking effectiveness. Set the brake
lever for maximum braking effectiveness.
Cycling with a load.
Overloading your bike may
fracture components relevant to safety or cause them
to fail. The handling changes when the bike is loaded
and the braking distance increases. Do not in any
case exceed the maximum permissible weight of
120 kg / 265 lbs. Adjust the tyre pressure to the total
weight of the bike. Practice cycling with a loaded bike
on a surface away from traffic. Adjust your cycling
technique to accommodate for the changed handling.
Use of child seats and child bike trailers.
Porsche Bikes are not approved for mounting child
seats or for cycling with child bike trailers. Do not use
any child seats or child bike trailers.
