Intended use
Keep in mind that every type of bike is designed for a
specific use. Be sure to use your MERIDA bike and your
MERIDA pedelec only according to its intended use, as
it may otherwise not withstand the stress and could fail
and cause an accident with unforeseeable consequenc-
es! If you use your bike for another than its intended pur-
pose, the warranty will become void.
Category 2: Cross bikes
MERIDA cross bikes
(a)
have 28”-wheels (inner diam-
eter 622 mm) and are intended for hard-surface roads,
i.e. for tarred roads and cycle lanes or gravel field tracks.
They are, however, not suitable for use on rough terrain.
Category 2:
MERIDA bikes of this category are designed
for riding on hard-surface roads where the wheels re-
main in permanent contact to the ground and for well
paved gravel paths and off-road trails with a slight slope
where a short loss of tire contact with the ground due to
small steps can occur. This condition comprises MERIDA
cross bikes as well as MERIDA cyclo-cross bikes with
road racing handlebars and cantilever or disc brakes.
Categories 3-5: Mountain bikes
The
mountain bike
itself describing one particular type
of bike does not exist any longer. Various types of moun-
tain bikes for specific uses have been developed instead.
Be sure to use your MERIDA bike only according to its
intended use. Observe the traffic rules when riding on
public roads. The rider’s maximum weight incl. baggage
and bike should not exceed
135 kg
.
Categorie 3: Cross-country, marathon and tour moun-
tain bikes
MERIDA cross-country
(b)
,
MERIDA marathon
and
MERIDA tour mountain bikes
(c)
are also suitable for
off-road use, but not for tricks, stair riding etc., training
and competitive use in the categories freeride, dirt,
downhill races.
Category 3:
MERIDA bikes of this category comprise
the MERIDA bikes of the categories 1 and 2 and are in
addition suitable for rough and unpaved terrains. Spo-
radic jumps are also included in the field of use of these
MERIDA bikes. But particularly inexperienced riders do-
ing jumps may land inappropriately, thus increasing the
acting forces significantly which may result in damage
and injuries. This category is typically represented by
MERIDA mountain bike hardtails and full suspension
MERIDA bikes with short suspension travel.
Category 4: Enduro and all mountain bikes
MERIDA enduro
(e)
and
MERIDA all mountain bikes
(f)
are suitable for off-road use (Alpcross etc.), but not
for tricks, stair riding etc., training and competitive
use in the categories freeride, dirt, downhill races.
Category 4:
This category includes MERIDA bikes of
the categories 1 to 3. In addition, bikes of this category
are suitable for very rough and partly blocked terrain
with steep slopes and higher speeds as a result thereof.
Regular jumps by experienced riders are no problem
for these MERIDA bikes. The regular and durable use
of the MERIDA bikes in bike parks must, however, be
excluded.
G
MERIDA bikes of the cat-
egories 0, 1, 2 and 3 are
not suitable for stair rid-
ing, jumps, slides, stoppies, wheel-
ies, tricks etc.!
