MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDING

See also SECTION B. Intended Use.

OFF-ROAD RIDING

O road riding usually involves many, many

variables such as constantly changing traction,

obstacles, changes in line of sight, up hill, down

hill, soft surfaces, dry surfaces, wet surfaces.

O road riding requires managing a complex and

constantly changing rider–to-bicycle feedback

loop of traction, weight distribution, application

of power, application of brakes and steering driven

by the conditions one encounters. The complexity

and ever-changing nature of o road riding requires

focus, concentration, strength, ﬁtness and learning

to read the trail. The art of managing all this while

surrounded by nature makes this a challenging and

wonderful sport.

If you have ridden your mountain bike on a paved

road, or on a gravel or dirt road, you have done

very little in the way of learning to mountain bike.

Learning to ride o road is a process. It does not

automatically occur because you have a mountain

bike. Learning to ride o road does not come from

watching “extreme” mountain bike videos or TV.

In fact the riders in those ﬁlms are professional

entertainers and/or daredevils, not teachers.

WARNING

MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDING IS VERY DIFFERENT

FROM RIDING A BIKE ON THE ROAD.

For starters, it is almost certain you will fall o.

Get training! Join a club and nd experienced

people to teach you. It is likely that your retailer

can hook you up with local rides. Practice and

learn to stay in control. Carefully, progressively,

learn to expand your limits, but always ride

within them.

BIKE TYPES

WARNING

PICK A MOUNTAIN BIKE FOR HOW YOU WILL

RIDE.

There are now many dierent kinds of

“mountain bikes.” Cannondale makes mountain

bikes ranging from the light, nimble Rush and

Scalpels, designed for cross country (XC) racing,

to our rugged, long-travel freeride bikes. A

Scalpel is not designed for freeride! If you

try using your bike for something it was not

intended, you may break it with risk of serious

injury, paralysis or death.

Matching the intended use of any kind of

mountain bike to your expected riding is import.

Read PART II SECTION B. INTENDED USE.

INSPECTION AND

MAINTENANCE ROUTINES

WARNING

MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDING IS VERY HARD ON

BIKES.

MOUNTAIN BIKES NEED FREQUENT CLEANING,

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION.

Clean your bike after every ride and conduct a

pre-ride inspection before every ride. Detailed

inspection as outlined in PART II SECTION D. in

this manual is needed more often than for road

bikes. Failure to keep up with maintenance and

inspection increases the risk of an accident, with

risk of serious injury, paralysis or death.
