In purchasing this bicycle you have chosen a product of high quality and
technology. Each component of your new bicycle has been designed,
manufactured and assembled with great care and expertise. Your BMW
partner gave the bicycle its final assembly and performed a function
check to guarantee proper operation. You can now set off to enjoy your
new bicycle feeling safe and secure.
This manual contains a wealth of information on the proper use of your
bicycle, its maintenance and operation as well as interesting details
about bicycle design and engineering. Please read these instructions
thoroughly. We are sure that even if you have been cycling all your life
you will find it worthwhile. Bicycle technology has developed at a rapid
pace during recent years. Therefore, before setting off on your new bicy-
cle, be sure to read at least the chapter
“Before Your FIRST Ride“
.
To have as much fun as possible during cycling, be sure to carry out the
minimum functional check described in chapter
“Before eVeRY Ride”
before setting off. This manual cannot teach you the skills of a bicycle
mechanic. Even a manual as big as an encyclopaedia could not describe
every possible combination of available bicycles and components. It
therefore focuses on your newly purchased bicycle and standard com-
ponents providing important information and warnings.
