SHORT MANUAL | OWNER`S MANUAL 2016
OWNER`S MANUAL 2016 | SHORT MANUAL
Damping is usually done by oil. To work perfectly, the fork has to be adjusted to
the weight of the rider, the sitting posture and the intended use (a). Be sure to
have this adjustment carried out by your BERGAMONT dealer at the time of de-
livery. For more information see the chapter “Front suspension” in your detailed
BERGAMONT owner’s manual as well as in the manuals of the suspension fork
manufacturer on the enclosed BERGAMONT info CD.
DANGER!
G
The suspension fork should be set up and adjusted in a way that it does not
reach the end of its travel, i.e. bottom out, unless in extreme cases (b). A
spring rate which is too soft (air pressure is too low) can usually be heard or felt as
a “clunk” type noise. This noise is caused by the sudden complete compression
of the suspension fork as it reaches bottom out. If the suspension fork frequently
reaches bottom out, it will sustain damage over time, and so will the frame.
DANGER!
G
A too strong damping of the suspension fork can result in a sluggish re-
bound movement with a suspension fork that will not recover when ex-
posed to a quick series of impacts. Risk of falling!
DANGER!
G
Do not turn any bolt on your suspension fork, particularly not with tools,
in the vague hope of adjusting it somehow. You could be loosening the
fastening mechanism, thus provoking an accident. All manufacturers normally
mark adjustment devices with a scale or with “+” (for stronger damping/harder
suspension) and “-” signs.
DANGER!
G
Suspension forks are designed to absorb shocks. If the fork is too rigid and
jammed, the terrain-induced shocks pass directly into the frame without
any damping. This could damage the suspension fork itself as well as the frame.
If your suspension fork has a lockout mechanism (c), do not activate the lockout
function when riding in rough terrain, but only when riding over smooth terrain
(roads, field tracks).
NOTE!

Suspension fork manufacturers normally include manuals with their deliv-
eries. You find these manuals on the enclosed BERGAMONT info CD. Read
these carefully before changing any settings or doing any maintenance work on
your suspension fork.
REAR SUSPENSION
Full suspension BERGAMONT bikes are not only equipped with a suspension
fork but also with movable rear stays (d) which are sprung and damped by a rear
shock. This feature gives you better control of your BERGAMONT bike when rid-
ing cross-country or on rough road surfaces. The (shock) loads on you and your
BERGAMONT bike are noticeably reduced. The rear shock normally works with
an air spring element or – less frequently – with coil springs. Damping is usually
done by oil.
To work perfectly, the rear shock has to be adjusted to the weight of the rider,
the sitting posture and the intended use (e). Be sure to have this adjustment
carried out by your BERGAMONT dealer at the time of delivery.
For more information see the chapter “Rear suspension” in your detailed
BERGAMONT owner’s manual as well as in the manuals of the rear shock manu-
facturer on the enclosed BERGAMONT info CD.

Full suspension frames are designed to absorb shocks. If the rear shock
is too rigid and jammed, the terrain-induced shocks pass directly into the
frame without any damping. This could damage the rear shock itself as well
as the frame. If your rear shock has a lockout mechanism, do not activate the
lockout function when riding in rough terrain, but only when riding over smooth
terrain (roads, field tracks).

The rear shock should be set up and adjusted in a way that it does not
reach the end of its travel, i.e. bottom out, unless in extreme cases (f). A
spring rate which is too soft (air pressure is too low) can usually be heard or felt
as a “clunk” type noise. This noise is caused by the sudden complete compres-
sion of the suspension strut as it reaches bottom out. If the suspension strut
frequently reaches bottom out, it will sustain damage over time, and so will the
frame.
