DIRT JUMP
CONDITION 5
Bikes designed for jumping, hucking, high speeds, or aggressive riding on rougher surfaces, or landing on flat
surfaces. However, this type of riding is extremely hazardous and puts unpredictable forces on a bicycle which
may overload the frame, fork, or parts. If you choose to ride in Condition 5 terrain, you should take appropriate
safety precautions such as more frequent bike inspections and replacement of equipment. You should also wear
comprehensive safety equipment such as a full-face helmet, pads, and body armor.
INTENDED For man-made dirt jumps, ramps, skate parks other predictable obstacles and terrain where riders need and
use skill and bike control, rather than suspension. Dirt Jumping bikes are used much like heavy duty BMX bikes.
A Dirt Jumping bike does not give you skills to jump. Read Section 2. F, p. 12.
NOT INTENDED
For terrain, drop offs or landings where large amounts of suspension travel are needed to help absorb the shock of landing
and help maintain control.
TRADE OFF Dirt Jumping bikes are lighter and more nimble than Freeride bikes, but they have no rear suspension and the suspension travel
in the front is much shorter.
CYCLO-CROSS
CONDITION 2
Bikes designed for riding Condition 1, plus smooth gravel roads and improved trails with moderate grades where the
tires do not lose ground contact.
INTENDED
For cyclo-cross riding, training and racing. Cyclo-cross involves riding on a variety of terrain and surfaces
including dirt or mud surfaces. Cyclo-cross bikes also work well for all weather rough road riding and commuting.
NOT INTENDED For off road or mountain bike use, or jumping. Cyclo-cross riders and racers dismount before reaching
an obstacle, carry their bike over the obstacle and then remount. Cyclo-cross bikes are not intended for mountain bike
use. The relatively large road bike size wheels are faster than the smaller mountain bike wheels, but not as strong.
ROAD TANDEMS
CONDITION 1
Bikes designed for riding on a paved surface where the tires do not lose ground contact.
INTENDED Are designed to be ridden on paved roads only. They are not designed for mountain biking or off-road use.
NOT INTENDED Road tandem should not be taken off-road or used as a mountain tandem.
