About Off Road, Stunt, Downhill and Freeriding
This manual is designed to be used in conjunction with the Bicycle Owner’s Manual and owner’s manuals supplied by the manufacturer of the front and
rear suspension components. If you did not receive any of these manuals, download them from the Internet, contact your Authorized Specialized Dealer,
or contact us by telephone. There may be more current manuals and technical information available. For the most current information, regularly check the
Specialized web site or consult your Authorized Specialized Dealer. These manuals were written for an important reason: your safety while riding.
This manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or inspect your bicycle or of failure to follow safe cycling
practices. The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious
injury or death. The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word Caution indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury, or damage to your bicycle or a component. Because the consequences of not following a Warning usually include “you may lose control and
fall,” which could result in serious personal injury or death, we may not repeat this in conjunction with each Warning. Because it is impossible to anticipate every
situation or condition which may occur, a practice or situation may be unsafe but not anticipated by this manual. So, don’t forget to use your common sense.
WARNING! Make sure you have, review, and understand the warnings, instructions, and content of the manuals for your bicycle.
About off road, stunt, downhill and freeriding
Downhill racing, severe off road riding, jumping, and stunt riding is extremely dangerous. Some downhill racers and freeriders reach speeds similar to
motorcycles, thus face similar risks and hazards. When engaging in these activities, you, your bicycle and safety equipment must be in perfect condition. We
recommend that at all times you wear appropriate safety gear, such as an approved full face helmet, full finger gloves, and body armor.
Not every bicycle is built for every activity. Check with your Authorized Specialized Dealer to make sure you have the right equipment.
No bicycle is indestructible. Downhill racing, severe off road riding, jumping, and stunt riding increases the stress on every part of your bicycle. Frames
or parts under high stress may fail, causing you to lose control or fall. Because of the risk involved, Specialized recommends that you conduct a
thorough inspection before each ride. If you miss a jump, ditch your bike in mid crash, dump or launch your bike without you on it, inspect yourself for
injury, then carefully inspect your bicycle for damage.
Here is what you should look for when you inspect your bicycle for this type of riding: bent or broken components, such as the handlebar, handlebar
stem, seatpost, pedals; dents, cracks, scratches, deformation, or discoloration. Because damage may be internal and hidden, if any of these signs are
present, stop riding until your bicycle has been thoroughly inspected by your Authorized Specialized Dealer.
WARNING! Although many catalogs, advertisements and articles about bicycling depict riders racing, jumping, riding hard off road, and/
or stunt riding, this activity is extremely dangerous, increases the rider’s risk of injury or death, and potentially increases the severity of
any injury. The action depicted is being performed by experts with many years of training and experience. Even with that training and
experience, cyclists who engage in such activity often get seriously injured. It is also foreseeable that during some jumps or stunts, and
even some races, that the rider will exceed the design capacity of the frame or components, which may result in something on the
bicycle bending or breaking. If a frame or component bends or breaks, such may lead to loss of control, serious personal injury or death.
As activities such as racing, jumping, severe off road riding, and stunt riding are extremely dangerous, SAFETY should always be the first consideration.
Don’t ride in the race, ride hard off road, try the jump, or do the stunt, UNLESS YOU CAN DO SO SAFELY. Here are some additional recommendations:
Take lessons from a competent instructor first.
Do jumps or stunts only in areas designated for this type of riding.
Start with easy jumps and easy stunts first, and slowly develop skills before trying more dangerous jumps or stunts.
Wear appropriate safety gear, such as a full face helmet, body armor, full finger gloves, etc.
Make sure by checking with your Authorized Specialized Dealer that your bike is suitable for the kind of activity you intend to engage in.
Constantly inspect your bicycle for signs of stress: cracks in the paint; dents; crushing or bending of the frame; bent components. Do not ride your
bicycle if it shows such signs of stress.
Do not seek to bend or break the frame or components. Remember, SAFETY FIRST!!!
Understand and recognize that the stresses imposed on your bike by riding at speed, jumping or stunt riding may break or damage parts of the bicycle,
which may result in loss of control, serious injury or death.
Specialized does not warrant the bicycle frame or components for such activities, and expressly disclaims all warranties, including the warranty of
fitness for particular purpose and merchantability.
Stunt riding, severe off road riding, jumping, or riding downhill at speed is extremely dangerous, and the rider voluntarily assumes the risk that the
bicycle frame and/or its components will bend or break, and voluntarily assumes the risk of injury or death.
Service and modifications
Technological advances have made bicycles and bicycle components more complex, and the pace of innovation is increasing. It is impossible for
this manual or the accompanying manuals to provide all of the information required to properly repair and/or maintain your bicycle. In order to help
minimize the chances of an injury, it is critical for you to have work performed by an Authorized Specialized Dealer.
WARNING! Service on Specialized bicycles requires special knowledge and tools. Specialized recommends that all service and repairs
be performed by an Authorized Specialized Dealer.
Your bicycle has been engineered and tested with specific components and parts. Because of the great variety in these items, it is impossible for Specialized
to test and approve of all possible combinations. Modifying the frame, fork, or any of the components may make your bike unsafe. For example, changing the
front suspension on your bicycle may alter the steering characteristics and/or add stresses to the frame which have not been tested for. If you must replace
any component, have this done by your Authorized Specialized Dealer.
WARNING! Never modify your frame or bicycle in any way. Do not sand, drill, file, or remove parts. Do not install incompatible forks or
suspension parts. An improperly modified frame, fork, or component, can cause you to lose control and fall.
CAUTION: Any modification of your frame, fork, or components means that your bike no longer meets our specifications and therefore
