SECTION C. MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDING
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
Suspension
Suspension will increase the handling
capabilities and comfort of your bicycle. This
enhanced capability may allow you to ride
faster, particularly on rough or bumpy surfaces.
As common sense tells you, increased speed
brings increased risk.
WARNING
Do not confuse the built-in capabilities of a
suspension bike with your own capabilities,
which must be learned.
Increasing your skill will take time and
practice. Stay in control, and carefully,
gradually learn the feel and handling of your
suspension bike.
When you apply the front brakes on a
suspension bike, the front of the bike will
fall or dip as weight shifts forward. This is
normal. (The front of your car dips when you
apply the brakes.) You must learn to
anticipate this weight shift and compensate
by shifting your body weight back.
Jumping
WARNING
Jumping is very risky. You could have a fall
leading to serious injury, paralysis or death.
Jumping a mountain bike is fun, but it puts
extreme stress on your bike. Perhaps most
vulnerable to jumping-related damage is
your fork. Riders who insist on jumping their
bikes risk serious damage, to their bicycles
as well as themselves.
Stay In Control
WARNING
Failure to ride in control could result in a fall
leading to serious injury, paralysis, or death.
While the risks inherent to this sport cannot
be eliminated, you can minimize the risks by
riding in control and wearing a helmet. The
reality is that simple, and that challenging.
Downhill And Lift-Serviced
Riding
WARNING
To ride downhill at speed or in competition
is to voluntarily assume a very large risk.
You could be seriously injured, paralyzed, or
killed.
When riding downhill such as at a ski area,
on trails or access roads, or on dirt roads
such as fire roads, you can reach speeds
seen on motorcycles, with similar hazards
and risks.
Wear appropriate safety gear, including a
full face helmet, full finger gloves, Neck,
brace, protective clothing, and body armor.
Have your bicycle and equipment carefully
inspected by a qualified mechanic and be
sure it is in excellent condition. Consult with
expert riders and/or race ocials on
conditions and equipment advisable at any
site where you plan to ride downhill.
Experienced riders often pre-walk or
carefully and slowly pre-ride a downhill
course before attempting it at any speed.
