Category 3: Use In Rough Terrain And Jumps Up To 61 Cm; Category 4: Use In Rough Terrain And Jumps Up To 122 Cm - Propain Sresh Sl Aufbauanleitung / Betriebsanleitung

2.5 INTENDED USE
The intended use of Propain bikes is divided into five different categories – ranging from the riding on paved roads through to downhill or freeride use. The bicycles are to be used exclusively in accordance
with their intended use. Otherwise, the user assumes responsibility. To identify the intended use of your bike, there is a sticker with the use category on the frame of your bike.
CATEGORY 1: USE EXCLUSIVELY ON PAVED ROADS
Category 1 stands for the use of bicycles and their components on paved roads. The wheels always remain in contact with the ground.
1
CATEGORY 2: USE ON AND OFF ROAD AND STEPS UP TO 15 CM
Category 2 stands for the use of bicycles and their components under the conditions of category 1 and on gravel roads and moderate trails. The wheels may lose contact with the
ground. Steps can reach a maximum height of 15 cm.
2

CATEGORY 3: USE IN ROUGH TERRAIN AND JUMPS UP TO 61 CM

Category 3 stands for the use of bicycles and their components under the conditions of category 1 and 2 as well as on rough trails, rough and unpaved terrain, which requires advanced
riding technique. Jumps and drops reach a maximum height of 61 cm.

CATEGORY 4: USE IN ROUGH TERRAIN AND JUMPS UP TO 122 CM

Category 4 includes the use of bikes and their components under the conditions of categories 1, 2 and 3 as well as in very rough and partially blocked terrain with steeper sections
and higher speeds. Regular, moderate jumps pose no problem for experienced riders when using these bikes. Extended and regular use in bike parks and when tackling "North Shore"
4
sections should be avoided. Due to increased stresses, these bikes should be checked for damage after every ride. Full suspension bikes with mid-level travel are typical in this category.
CATEGORY 5: EXTREME USE (DOWNHILL, FREERIDE, DIRT)
Category 5 includes the use of bikes and their components under the conditions of categories 1, 2, 3 and 4 as well as in demanding, heavily blocked and extremely steep terrain,
which can only be mastered by technically experienced and very well trained riders. In this category, big jumps are to be expected as well as intensive use in bike parks or on downhill
5
tracks. With these bikes it is essential to ensure that after each ride an intensive check for possible damage is carried out. Pre-damages can lead to failure even if further stresses
are significantly lower. A regular replacement of safety-relevant components should also be considered. Wearing appropriate protective gear is absolutely essential. Long travel full-
suspension bikes but also dirt bikes characterize this category.
