Category 0:
This category is intended for kids’ bikes.
Children should not ride near precipices, staircases or
swimming pools as well as on paths used by automo-
tive mobiles. In general, this applies to MERIDA bikes
with wheel sizes of 12 to 24 inches. The kid’s maximum
weight incl. baggage and bike should not exceed
80 kg
.
Category 1:
MERIDA bikes of this category are designed
for riding on hard-surface roads where the wheels re-
main in permanent contact to the ground. The rider’s
maximum weight incl. baggage and bike should not
exceed
135 kg
. Under certain circumstances this per-
missible maximum weight can be further limited by the
component manufacturers’ recommendations for use.
A
Due to their design and fittings MERIDA
city, MERIDA trekking, MERIDA fitness and
MERIDA kids’ bikes are not always suitable
for being used on public roads. If you want to use them
on public roads, these bikes must be fitted with the
prescribed equipment. Observe the traffic rules when
riding on public roads. For more information see your
comprehensive MERIDA user manual on the enclosed
MERIDA CD-ROM.
Category 2: Cross bikes
MERIDA cross bikes
(e)
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
(g)
,
MERIDA marathon
and
MERIDA tour mountain bikes
(h)
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.
