TRADE OFF Freeride bikes are more rugged than
All-Mountain bikes, for riding more difcult terrain.
Freeride bikes are heavier and harder to ride uphill than
All-Mountain bikes.

Dirt Jump
CONDITION 5
Bikes designed for
jumping, hucking, high speeds, or
aggressive riding on rougher surfaces, or
landing on at surfaces. However, this type
of riding is extremely hazardous and puts
unpredictable forces on a bicycle which
may overload the frame, fork, or parts.
If you choose to ride in Condition 5
terrain, you should take appropriate safety precautions
such as more frequent bike inspections and replacement
of equipment. You should also wear comprehensive safety
equipment such as a full-face helmet, pads, and body armor.
INTENDED
For man-made dirt jumps, ramps, skate parks
other predictable obstacles and terrain where riders need
and use skill and bike control, rather than suspension. Dirt
Jumping bikes are used much like heavy duty BMX bikes.
A Dirt Jumping bike does not give you skills to jump. Read
Section 2. F, p. 9.
NOT INTENDED
For terrain, drop offs or landings where
large amounts of suspension travel are needed to help
absorb the shock of landing and help maintain control.
TRADE OFF
Dirt Jumping bikes are lighter and more
nimble than Freeride bikes, but they have no rear suspen-
sion and the suspension travel in the front is
much shorter.

Appendix B
The Lifespan of Your Bike and its Components
1. Nothing Lasts Forever, Including Your Bike
When the useful life of your bike or its components is
over, continued use is hazardous.
Every bicycle and its component parts have a nite, limited
useful life. The length of that life will vary with the construc-
tion and materials used in the frame and components; the
maintenance and care the frame and components receive
over their life; and the type and amount of use to which the
frame and components are subjected. Use in competitive
events, trick riding, ramp riding, jumping, aggressive riding,
riding on severe terrain, riding in severe climates, riding
with heavy loads, commercial activities and other types of
non-standard use can dramatically shorten the life of the
frame and components. Any one or a combination of these
conditions may result in an unpredictable failure
.
All aspects of use being identical, lightweight bicycles
and their components will usually have a shorter life
than heavier bicycles and their components. In selecting
a lightweight bicycle or components you are making a
tradeoff, favoring the higher performance that comes with
lighter weight over longevity. So, If you choose light-
weight, high performance equipment, be sure to have it
inspected frequently.
You should have your bicycle and its components checked
periodically by your dealer for indicators of stress and/or
potential failure, including cracks, deformation, corrosion,
paint peeling, dents, and any other indicators of potential
problems, inappropriate use or abuse. These are important
safety checks and very important to help prevent acci-
dents, bodily injury to the rider and shortened product life
.
