INTENDED USE OF YOUR BERGAMONT BIKE
Your BERGAMONT bike was designed by our engineers for a specific use. Be
sure to use your BERGAMONT bike only according to its intended use, as it may
otherwise not withstand the stress and could fail and cause an accident with
unforeseeable consequences! Any use contrary to the intended purpose will
render the warranty null and void.
NOTE!
I
Inform yourself at www.bergamont.com to which category your new
BERGAMONT bike belongs.
There is no bicycle type which is suitable for all purposes. Your BERGAMONT
dealer will be pleased to help you finding the right BERGAMONT bike for your
needs. He will also explain you the limits of the different types of bicycle.
Category 3: BERGAMONT cross-country, marathon and hardtail bikes
BERGAMONT cross-country (c), marathon (d) and hardtail bikes (e+f) are de-
signed for use on trails with tarred or paved surface or gravel field tracks and in
addition suitable for rough and unpaved terrains. Sporadic jumps up to a height
of 0.5 m are also included in the field of use of these BERGAMONT bicycles.
In addition, they are intended for cross-country use and races on surfaces
from easy over medium challenging to aggressive surface (e.g. hilly with small
obstacles, such as roots, rocks, loose and hard surfaces as well as dents). But
particularly inexperienced riders doing jumps may land inappropriately, thus
increasing the acting forces significantly which may result in damage and inju-
ries. BERGAMONT recommends that you train your skills in a riding technique
course.
If necessary, ask your BERGAMONT dealer to inspect your BERGAMONT bike
at shorter intervals than according to the BERGAMONT service and mainte-
nance schedule.
These bicycles are, however, not suitable for use on blocked terrain, tricks, stair
riding, etc., training and competitive use in the categories freeride, dirt, downhill
as well as hardest freeriding, extreme downhill, dirt jump, slope style or very
aggressive or extreme riding.
First, we would like to familiarize you with the various components of your
BERGAMONT bike. Please unfold the cover of the translation of these origi-
nal BERGAMONT operating instructions. There you will find a BERGAMONT
mountain bike (a) and two BERGAMONT pedelecs (b) showing all the essential
components. Leave the page unfolded as you read so that you can easily locate
the components as they are referred to in the text.
DANGER!
G
For your own safety, never do any work or adjusting when servicing your
bike unless you feel absolutely sure about it. If you are in doubt or if you
have any questions, contact your BERGAMONT dealer.

Note: Do not hitch yourself and your bike to a car. Do not ride freehand.
