Category 4: Enduro and all mountain bikes
MERIDA enduro (a) and MERIDA all mountain bikes
(b)
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. Due to the higher stresses, these MERIDA
bikes should be checked for possible damage after ev-
ery ride. Full suspension MERIDA bikes with medium
suspension travel are typical for this category.
Category 5: Dirt and freeride bikes
MERIDA dirt bikes
(c)
are intended for harder use on
secured terrain. There are different types of dirt bikes
which are either designed for tricks and show rides,
jumps and freestyle in special obstacle parks, whereas
others are intended for races.
MERIDA freeride bikes (d)
are suitable for jumps and
drops in most challenging terrains and in bike parks.
Category 5: This type of use stands for very chal-
lenging, highly blocked and extremely steep terrains,
which can only be mastered by well-trained riders with
technical skills. Rather high jumps at very high speeds
as well as the intensive use of specific, identified bike
parks or downhill trails are typical for this category. In
the case of these MERIDA bikes it must be considered
that a thorough check for possible damage is carried
out after every ride. Preliminary damage with clearly
inferior further stress can result in failure. A regular re-
placement of safety-relevant components must also
be taken into account. Wearing special protectors is
strongly recommended. Full suspension MERIDA
bikes with long suspension travels are typical for this
category.
A
Due to their design and fittings MERIDA
mountain bikes (cross, cross-country, mar-
athon and tour bikes, enduro and all moun-
tain bikes, dirt and freeride bikes) are not 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.

For your own safety, do not overestimate your
riding skills. Please note that though looking
easy the tricks of a professional are hazardous
to your life and limb. Always protect yourself with suit-
able clothing.
