shoes act on the rim edges. Due to its improved
design, the V-brake achieves excellent braking
values under dry and wet conditions, but holds
certain risks, especially for inexperienced cycle
riders.
You can lose control over your cycle if you apply
the brake in the wrong way. Practice applying
this brake, particularly if you are a beginner. Ride
slowly at first and use the brake lever carefully
to familiarize yourself with the response of the
brakes.
Please contact your dealer to learn how to
adjust the braking power and study the relevant
instruction leaflet of the manufacturer.

Hydraulic brake

This brake is also activated by pulling the
brake lever at the handle bar of your cycle. Two
brake rubbers act on the rim edges. Instead of
Bowden control cables, this brake has brake
tubes that are filled with hydraulic oil. Consult
your dealer and read the detailed technical
instructions of the manufacturer. The hydraulic
brake is very sensitive and can be exactly
calibrated. You can test the brake response
through a trial run.
Caution! Risk of fall and injury when
applying the brake suddenly in emergency
situations!

Roller brake

This brake too is activated with the help of
the brake lever on the handle bar. The braking
mechanism acts on the wheel hub and is well
protected from bad weather. Please note that
a large frictional heat is generated, resulting in
heat accumulation, if you apply the brake for a
long time (going downhill).
Caution! Do not touch the heated hub
body. Cooling-off time after prolonged
braking when going downhill is
approximately 30 minutes.

Disk brake

This brake too is activated with the help of the
brake lever on the handle bar. The principle
is similar to that of the rim brake, the only
di erence being that this brake sits on the hub.
The brake pads act on a brake disk.
