well as rough trails, rough unpaved roads, and rough terrain and unimproved trails that require technical skills.
Jumps and drops are intended to be less than 61 cm (24 in.).
Warning
Each component has its load limit, which can be exceeded in case of overload or during special driving manoeuvres. Please note
the following:
• Never exceed the permitted system and rider weight.
• Use your saddle only in the intended use category, or a lower one (according to ASTM F 2043-13/ DIN EN 17406).
• After situations in which especial or unexpected force has been exerted, such as after a crash, a cycling mistake or an accident,
carry out an extraordinary inspection.
• If in doubt, the potentially damaged component should be replaced prophylactically. In such case, play it safe and ask your
SQlab dealer for advice.
• For the protection of third parties, a component which is not immediately and obviously recognisable as being defective should
be clearly marked as unusable.
