1.1. Before Your First Ride
a. STEVENS bicycle types are designed for a maximum overall weight
including rider, luggage and bicycle.
Kids’ bicycles: 65 kg
Mountain bikes: 115 kg
Tandem bicycles: 210 kg
The following weight limits for the rider including equipment and
STEVENS bicycle apply to special wheels:
Mavic Crossmax SLR Disc: 85 kg
DT Swiss M1700 Spline: 110 kg
b. Due to their design and fittings mountain bikes are not suitable for
being used on public roads. If you intend to use this type of bicycle
on public roads, it must be fitted with the devices and equipment
prescribed for this purpose (see chapter “Legal Requirements for
Riding on Public Roads”). Mountain bikes
are designed for off-road
use; they are however not suitable for downhill (DH), freeride, dual
slalom, downhill/freeride parks, jumps, drops etc. or for use in water.
c. Tandems are designed to be used by 1 or 2 riders. They can be used
e.g. for off-road cycling on gravel field and forest tracks, however,
not for rough terrain. They are not suitable for mountain bike use,
namely for all mountain enduro, downhill (DH), freeride, dual slalom,
downhill/freeride parks, jumps, drops etc. Due to their design and
fittings tandem bicycles are not suitable for being used on public
roads. If you intend to use this type of bicycle on public roads, it must
be fitted with the devices and equipment prescribed for this purpose
(see chapter “Legal Requirements for Riding on Public Roads”).
d. Are you familiar with the brake system? Have a look at the bike card
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, you will need to train to get
used to the new configuration, as inadvertent use of the front brake
can throw you off your bike. Or ask your STEVENS dealer to change
the brake levers. Your new bicycle is equipped with modern brakes
which may be far more effective than those you were used to so far.
Be sure to first practise using the brakes off public roads! For more
information see chapter “The Brake System”.
e. Are you familiar with the type and functioning of the gears? If not,
make yourself familiar with the new gears in a place clear of traffic.
For more information see chapter “The Gears.
f. Are both saddle and handlebars properly adjusted? The saddle should
be set to a height from which you can just reach the pedal in its low-
est position with your heel. Check whether your toes reach to the
floor when you are sitting on the saddle. Your STEVENS dealer will be
pleased to help you, if you are not happy with your seating position.
For more information see chapter “Adjusting the Bicycle to the Rider.
g. If your bicycle is equipped with clipless or step-in pedals: Have you
ever tried the shoes they go with? Do not set off until you have prac-
tised engaging and disengaging the shoes from the pedals in sta-
tionary. For more information see chapter “The Pedal Systems“. In
addition, read the operating instructions of the pedals that you have
received from your STEVENS dealer.
h. If you have bought a bicycle with suspension fork, you should ask
your STEVENS dealer to have it properly adjusted before delivery.
Improperly adjusted suspension components are liable to malfunc-
tion or damage. In any case they will impair the performance of your
bicycle as well as your safety whilst riding. For more information see
chapters “Suspension Forks, “Full Suspension of the Mountain Bike
Models”.
General Safety Instructions
Danger:
Note that the distance
you need to stop your bike
increases, while riding with
the hands on the bar ends.
The brake levers are not
within easy reach.
Danger:
A lack of practice when using
step-in pedals or too much
spring tension in the mech-
anism can lead to a very firm
connection, from which you
cannot quickly step out!
Danger:
STEVENS kids’ bicycles are
not designed for mounting
stabilisers.
Danger:
Trailers are not permitted
for STEVENS kids’ and full
suspension bicycles.
