Proper use and description of bicycle types
City, Junior and children's bicycles
These bicycle types are usually equipped with all necessary
accessories, such as a luggage rack, lighting devices, and fenders.
Many of these bikes are fitted with a hub gear with a coasting brake. In
recent years, great emphasis has been given to the development of
bicycles in this group, providing them with such extras as the
telescopic fork, hub dynamo, and stem with adjustable angle, which
significantly improve their comfort level and the riding experience.
Use: on paved roads and on unpaved roads in good condition.
Trekking bicycles
Trekking bicycles are also equipped with the accessories required for
circulating in road traffic. In the interest of their use on longer trips and
easier terrain, these bicycles are equipped with 28” tires. By selecting
from different tread types (terrain or slick) their use can be customised
further. Unlike city bikes, trekking bicycles are equipped with 21, 24 or
27-speed external gear shift systems. To provide a suitable level of
comfort, these bicycles may also come equipped with telescopic forks,
depending on their design.
Use: on paved roads and on unpaved roads in good condition.
Mountain bike (MTB)
MTBs have become ever more widespread since the late 80's. Their
26” tire size (nowadays 27.5” and 29” tires are also available), knobby
tread, external gear shift system, and sporty sitting position all serve
their off-road use. The technology used, such as the material and
geometry of the frame, has undergone considerable development in
recent times. V-brakes, disc brakes, high quality handlebars and seat
components offer opportunities for customisation. These bicycles have
not been designed for road use. If you wish to ride your MTB in traffic,
you must equip it in accordance with legislative provisions.
Use: unpaved roads, terrain
Cross bicycles
Unlike MTBs, Cross bicycles have 28” wheels, although the geometry of
their frame and their technical features are similar. Thanks to the larger
wheel diameter, Cross bicycles are better suited to training on roads, but
they also perform great on easier terrain. These bicycles have not been
designed for road use. If you wish to ride your Cross bicycle in traffic,
you must equip it according to legislative provisions.
Use: on paved roads and on unpaved roads in good condition.
Racing bicycles (Road)
The structure of racing bicycles serves the goal of achieving high speeds
on roads. Their main features are a light, but rigid frame, narrow 28” tires
with an almost completely slick tread, a specially design racing
handlebar, and low weight. They allow their rider to take up a forward-
leaning sitting position to reduce air drag. Technical advances have been
taking place in great steps in the area of racing bicycles, as well, with the
main developments concerning gear shift and brake systems and other
components such as rims. These bicycles have not been designed for
road use. If you wish to ride your racing bicycle in traffic, you must equip
it according to legislative provisions.
Use: only on paved roads in good condition
Attention: the manufacturer and the distributor shall not be held
liable for damages resulting from incorrect use or the failure to
observe the safety technology provisions set out in the user guide /
warranty booklet. Correct use includes strict compliance with the
manufacturer's instructions relating to use and maintenance. Riding or
making jumps on obstacles or steps is particularly dangerous, as there is
a risk that the frame and/or fork will break, which could lead to a serious
accident. In such cases the manufacturer shall not assume any liability.
The manufacturer shall likewise not assume any liability for accidents
occurring as a result of participation in MTB competitions or due to
improper repairs.
