TESTS BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
1. If you want to use your bike on public roads, it has to comply with legal requirements.
These requirements may vary in each country. The fittings of your BERGAMONT bike
are, therefore, not necessarily complete. Ask your BERGAMONT dealer concerning
the laws and regulations applicable in your country or in the country you intend to
use your BERGAMONT bike. Have your BERGAMONT bike equipped accordingly
before using it on public roads.
For more information see the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on public roads”
in your detailed BERGAMONT owner’s manual.
2. Are you familiar with the brake system (d)? Have a look at the BERGAMONT
handover report and check whether the brake lever of the front brake is on the side
you are used to (right or left). If it is not, ask your BERGAMONT dealer to switch the
brake levers before you set off for the first time.
Your new bike is equipped with modern brakes which may be far more powerful than
those you were used to so far. Be sure to first practise using the brakes on a level,
non-slip surface off public roads! Slowly approach higher brake performances and
speeds.
For more information see the chapter “Brakes” in this general manual. For additional
information on your bicycle and the web links for the component manufacturers,
please visit the manual pages of the bike brand you have purchased via your Quick
Start Manual.
3. Are you familiar with the type and functioning of the gears (e)? Ask your
BERGAMONT dealer to explain you the gear system and make yourself familiar with
your new gears in an area free of traffic, if necessary.
For more information see the chapter “Gears” in your detailed BERGAMONT owner’s
manual.
4. Are saddle and handlebars properly adjusted? The saddle should be set to a height
from which you can just reach the pedal in its lowest position with your heel. The hips
should remain horizontal (f). Check whether your toes reach to the floor when you
are sitting on the saddle (a, p. 18) (exception: full suspension BERGAMONT bikes).
Your BERGAMONT dealer will be pleased to help you, if you are not happy with your
seating position.
Category 5.1: BERGAMONT gravity, freeride and downhill bikes
(BERGAMONT DH / FR BIKES)
BERGAMONT gravity, freeride (a) and downhill bikes (b) are designed for jumps,
jumps from obstacles, high speeds or aggressive riding over rough surfaces or landing
on uneven surfaces. This kind of riding is, however, extremely dangerous and intro-
duces unforeseeable forces on a bicycle which can overstress the frame, the fork or
the components. If you decide to ride off-road on a BERGAMONT bike of the category
5.1, you have to take appropriate safety measures, such as more frequent servicing
of your bicycle and the replacement of fittings and equipment. You should also wear
comprehensive safety equipment, such as a full-face helmet, protection pads and body
protectors.
BERGAMONT gravity, freeride and downhill bikes are designed for use on most
challenging terrain, e.g. on North Shore trails and slope style, but only by highly skilled
and experienced riders.
Category 5.2: BERGAMONT dirt jump bikes (BERGAMONT bikes DIRT)
BERGAMONT dirt jump bikes are designed for jumps, jumps from obstacles, high
speeds or aggressive riding over rough surfaces or landing on uneven surfaces. This
kind of riding is, however, extremely dangerous and introduces unforeseeable forces on
a bicycle which can overstress the frame, the fork or the components. If you decide to
ride off-road on a BERGAMONT bike of the category 5.2, you have to take appropriate
safety measures, such as more frequent servicing of your bicycle and the replacement
of fittings and equipment. You should also wear comprehensive safety equipment, such
as a full-face helmet, protection pads and body protectors.
BERGAMONT dirt jump bikes (c) are designed for man-made dirt jumps, ramps, skate
parks and other predictable obstacles and terrains which are rather a challenge to the
rider’s skills and his control of the bike than to suspension features. BERGAMONT dirt
jump bikes are used like heavy-duty BMX bikes.
BERGAMONT dirt jump bikes are, however, not designed for terrain, slopes or landings
which require long suspension travels to compensate the shocks of the landing and to
keep control.
•WARNING: For your own safety, do not overestimate your riding skills. Note that
though looking easy the tricks of a professional are hazardous to your life and limb.
Always protect yourself with suitable clothing.
