ABOUT OUR MANUALS

Our user manuals meet ISO 4210-10TS, EN 15194 et EN 14766 standards.
Like many sports, cycling involves risk of injury and accidents, so you must be fully aware of these risks. Neither the manufacturer, the retailer, nor the person who sold you the bike, nor the people who maintain the trails are responsible for these risks. As you are solely responsible, it is, therefore, essential that you read and fully understand all the parts contained in this manual.
To enjoy maximum safety and enjoyment right from the get go, it is important that you are familiar with your new bike, its handling and its possibilities. It is your duty to maintain your bike well and reduce the risk of injury. Biking can be a dangerous activity, even under the best conditions. These are risks associated with using a bicycle that cannot be predicted or avoided. These are the sole responsibility of the cyclist.
