Important!
The chain gear shift system of your ROTWILD
bike has been thoroughly checked and adjusted
before delivery. Adjustments to the system
should only be carried out by an experienced bi-

to damage of the gear shift system and your bike
and, in the worst case, total loss of motive po-

that you consult an approved ROTWILD dealer
for adjustments, maintenance and repairs to your

Suspension test ride
Find a suitable terrain for testing the setting of
