Be sure to also avoid the following, as this would put
too much stress on the material resulting in premature
wear or failure:
- Undue stress for the chain by riding with too low
chain tension
- Inappropriate grinding (sliding on chain or chain-
wheel or sliding on frame and drop-outs)
- Undue stress for the wheels by riding with too low
air pressure
- Undue stress for the frame and bike parts by riding
with too soft suspension elements

MERIDA bikes for dirt biking and freeriding
are true-bred sports bikes
(a+b)
. For your
own safety, do not overestimate your riding
skills. Please note that though looking easy the tricks
of a professional are hazardous to your life and limb.
Always protect yourself with appropriate and suitable
clothing.
A
Due to the specific intended use, some dirt
bikes are fitted with only one brake. Do not
ride these MERIDA bikes on public roads, but
only on enclosed terrain.
A
Not all MERIDA mountain bikes which look
like a dirt or freeride bike are actually sports
bikes! If you are in doubt or if you have any
questions, contact your MERIDA dealer.
Adjusting the saddle height
In the case of MERIDA dirt and freeride bikes the saddle
height depends on the use. The seating position is not
comparable to that of other bikes, as in this case it is all
about maximum control and freedom of movement on
the bike.
When you set off for a long cycling tour, the saddle
should be set to a height which gives maximum ped-
aling comfort and efficiency. When pedaling, the ball of
your foot should be positioned above the center of the
pedal axle. With your feet in this position you should
not be able to stretch your legs completely straight at
the lowest point, otherwise your pedaling will become
awkward.
The height of the saddle is adjustable. Further adjust-
ments possibly known from your regular MERIDA bike
cannot be made on dirt and freeride bikes.
For dirt biking or freeriding the saddle is set to a very low
height with a rearward tilt. This improves your mobility
on the bike under extreme conditions.
Ask your trainer, your club or your MERIDA dealer fort
he correct seating position. The instructions on how to
adjust the saddle are given in the chapter “Adjusting the
MERIDA bike to the rider”.
