INTENDED USE
All models are intended for Condition 3 Cross-Country,
Marathon) riding. Condition 43 symbol shown in next figure.
For riding on
unimproved
trails with
small obstacles
CONDITION 3
Bikes designed for riding Conditions 1 and 2, plus rough
trails, small obstacles, and smooth technical areas, including
areas where momentary loss of tire contact with the ground
may occur. NOT jumping. All mountain bikes without rear
suspension are Condition 3, and so are some lightweight rear
suspension models.
INTENDED
For cross-country riding and racing which ranges from mild
to agressive over intermediate terrain (e.g., hilly with small
obstacles like roots, rocks, loose surfaces and hard pack and
depressions). There are no large “sick drop” or drop offs,
jumps or launches (wooden structures, dirt embankments)
requiring long suspension travel or heavy duty components.
Cross-country and marathon equipment (tires, shocks, frames,
drive trains) are light-weight, favoring nimble speed over
brute force. Suspension travel is relatively short since the bike
is intended to move quickly on the ground and not spend time
in the air landing hard and hammering through things.
NOT INTENDED
For use in extreme forms of jumping/riding such as hardcore
mountain, Freeriding, Downhill, North Shore, Dirt Jumping,
Hucking etc.
TRADE OFF
Cross-Country bikes are lighter, faster to ride uphill, and more
nimble than All-Mountain bikes. Cross-Country and Marathon
bikes trade off some ruggedness for pedaling efficiency and
uphill speed.
