Suitable terrain

City and Trekking bikes are designed only for use on
roads, cycle paths and smooth trail paths.

All Terrain (ATB) and Jump style bikes are designed for
on road and moderate off road use only. They are not
intended for extreme off road conditions, severe
downhill riding or for jumping and stunt riding.

Racing bikes are designed for use on roads and other
smooth tarmac surfaces only.

Hazard of misuse

The misuse of any bike will subject both the frame and
components to excessive loading; this will greatly
accelerate wear and ultimately cause failure. Any such
failure of the frame or components could result in
serious injury. (see section 2F and Appendix A).

Maximum weights

Unless otherwise stated, adult bicycles are designed to
carry a rider of up to 120 Kg and up to 20 Kg of
luggage. All luggage carried must be securely mounted
on the frame, uniformly distributed and fitted as low as
possible, to minimize any adverse effect upon stability.
The maximum total weight of the cycle, rider and
luggage should never exceed 160 Kg.

Unless otherwise stated, children’s bicycles are
designed to carry a rider of up to 45 Kg and no luggage.
The maximum total weight of the cycle and rider should
never exceed 60 Kg.

IMPORTANT:

This manual contains important safety, performance and service
information. Read it before you take the first ride on your new
bicycle, and keep it for reference.

Additional safety, performance and service information for specific

 

components such as suspension or pedals on your bicycle, or for

 

accessories such as helmets or lights that you purchase, may also

 

be available. Make sure that your 

local 13 dealer

 has given

 

you all 

the manufacturers’

 

literature that was included with your

 

bicycle or 

accessories.

If you have any questions or do not understand something, take

 

responsibility for your own safety and consult with your 

local 13 

dealer
