Operating instruction RAPTOR 4all & 4you

With the thumb / index finger switching fittings,
gear changes are achieved by:
"Thumb switch" – operation by pressing in
the direction of travel with the thumb
"Index finger switch" – operation normally
by pulling in the opposite direction to travel
with the index finger (alternatively can also
be operated with the thumb by pressing
against the direction of travel).
There is no display for the gear selected
available. There is only an orientation as to
which chain wheels / sprocket is currently
being used via a display above the handle.

Operation of the chain shift is also possible
using a
grip shift
(optional with 9-speed
cassette). Here, you can change between the
3-speed chain wheels by turning the left-hand
twist grip. On the right-hand grip, you can
change between the sprockets in the 9-speed
cassette.
There is no display for the gear selected
available. You can only read-off which chain
wheel / sprocket is currently being used on the
twist grips.

You can optionally switch between the 3-speed
chain wheels via a
hand lever for direct
switching
. In doing so, the hand lever is
mounted on the left under the pedal bearing in
the direction of travel for operation with your
left hand. When the hand lever is move to the
right in the direction of travel, you switch to the
larger chain wheel (higher gear) and when
moving to the left in the direction of travel, to
the smaller chain wheel (lower gear).
In doing so, the switching of the 9- / 10-speed
cassette is generally carried out using a
thumb-forefinger switch fitting on the right grip
in the direction of travel.
