are only of optical kind and do not have any
effect on quality and performance of the
frame. Differences in the finish and disfigu-
rement are not a reason for any warranty

Our carbon frames and integral (full) car-
bon forks are approved
for a maximum system weight of 115 kg
Our MTB Hybrid models with carbon
frames are for a maximum weight 125 kg.
ROAD Hybrid models with carbon frames
and integral (full) carbon forks are ap-
proved for a maximum system weight of
115 kg.
A detailed informmation of all models can be found on our
homepage in the Service FAQ
Maximum total weight
=
Bicycle including entire additional load
and attach parts
+
Body weight incl. clothing and baggage
(e.g. backpag)
Loadings deviating from the purpose of
use intended (e.g. jumps) may lead to
damage and constitute a risk to the user.
We accept no liability for damage arising
from improper use.
•
It is not permissible to fit additional com-
ponents to any frame or fork tubing which
is attached by means of clamping to the
tubing in question.
•
Undefined stresses in the circumferential
direction of the tubing considerable can
occur in this way which may cause damage
and which may drastically reduce the ser-
vice life, and may also lead to a risk to the
safety of the user.
•
Basically every frame including forks must
be given a thorough examination at regular
intervals in respect of damage (e.g. cracks,
visible delamination, discolouration etc.).
•
After any accident, crash or other defined or
uncontrolled mechanical stresses the frame
and forks must not be ridden for reasons of
safety and should be sent to us for examina-
tion (see also Guarantee).
3.1 Use in competition
Danger of material damage!
Our frames are designed for extreme ri-
ding stresses. However during use in com-
petition stresses greater than those oc-
curring during normal riding may arise as
a result of collision with objects or other
riders. These stresses cannot possibly be
foreseen and allowed for in the construc-
tion and design of a frame or forks. We
therefore accept no liability for any dama-
ge resulting from use outside the inten-
ded purpose.
Shock and impact stresses may cause dama-
ge not visible externally such as delaminati-
on (separation of fibres from the surround-
ing plastic matrix) in the bottom laminate
layers causing a drastic reduction in perfor-
mance and consequently safety as well.

With regard to accessories used the instruc-
tions or use and user guide provided by the
manufacturer concerned must be followed!

Manufacturing process
Twin Mold Technology
The Twin Mould technique uses re-usable
cores during the lay-up process to ensure
precision frame moulding. Special inserts
guarantee optimum ply orientation du-
ring the production process to add extra
strength at frame points subject to high-
er loads. This improves the safety of the
product and delivers outstanding stiffness
characteristics.
Advanced Twin Mold
This technique uses a complete core to
provide the perfect frame form during the
lay-up process. As with the Twin Mould
technology, precise inserts are used to
ensure extra strength at high-stress frame
points. This combination offers maximum
control over fibre orientations during
the lay-up and production process. The
Advanced Twin Mould high-tech carbon
manufacturing process translates to out-
standing product safety and quality to-
gether with optimum weight and stiffness
characteristics.
