ENGLISHENGLISH GENERAL MANUAL | OWNER’S MANUALOWNER’S MANUAL | GENERAL MANUAL
WARNING: 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 (d), do not activate the lockout
function when riding in rough terrain, but only when riding over smooth terrain
(roads, field tracks).
CAUTION: More information on adjusting and maintenance is available on the internet at

CAUTION: Suspension fork manufacturers normally include manuals with their
deliveries. Read these carefully before changing any settings or doing any
maintenance work on your suspension fork. 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.
REAR SUSPENSION
Full suspension BERGAMONT bikes are not only equipped with a suspension fork but also
with movable rear stays (e) which are sprung and damped by a rear shock. This feature gives
you better control of your BERGAMONT bike when riding 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 (f). 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. 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.
SUSPENSION ON BERGAMONT BIKES
FRONT SUSPENSION
Lots of BERGAMONT bikes, in particular BERGAMONT mountain bikes, BERGAMONT
cross and BERGAMONT trekking bikes have suspension forks (a). This feature gives
you better control of your BERGAMONT bike when riding cross-country or on rough
road surfaces and ensures more ground contact for the tyre. The (shock) loads on you
and your BERGAMONT bike are noticeably reduced. Suspension forks differ in their
types of spring elements and damping. Suspension forks normally work with air spring
elements or with coil springs.
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 (b). Be sure to have this
adjustment carried out by your BERGAMONT dealer at the time of delivery. For more
information see the chapter “Front suspension” in your detailed BERGAMONT owner’s
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.
WARNING: 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 (c). 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.
WARNING: A too strong damping of the suspension fork can result in a sluggish
rebound movement with a suspension fork that will not recover when exposed to a
quick series of impacts. Risk of falling!
WARNING: 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.
