1.1. Before Your First Ride

a. STEVENS bicycle types are designed for a maximum overall weight

including rider, luggage and bicycle.

Kids’ bicycles: 65 kg

Mountain bikes: 115 kg

Tandem bicycles: 210 kg

The following weight limits for the rider including equipment and

STEVENS bicycle apply to special wheels:

Mavic Crossmax SLR Disc: 85 kg

DT Swiss M1700 Spline: 110 kg

b. Due to their design and fittings mountain bikes are not suitable for

being used on public roads. If you intend to use this type of bicycle

on public roads, it must be fitted with the devices and equipment

prescribed for this purpose (see chapter “Legal Requirements for

Riding on Public Roads”). Mountain bikes

are designed for off-road

use; they are however not suitable for downhill (DH), freeride, dual

slalom, downhill/freeride parks, jumps, drops etc. or for use in water.

c. Tandems are designed to be used by 1 or 2 riders. They can be used

e.g. for off-road cycling on gravel field and forest tracks, however,

not for rough terrain. They are not suitable for mountain bike use,

namely for all mountain enduro, downhill (DH), freeride, dual slalom,

downhill/freeride parks, jumps, drops etc. Due to their design and

fittings tandem bicycles are not suitable for being used on public

roads. If you intend to use this type of bicycle on public roads, it must

be fitted with the devices and equipment prescribed for this purpose

(see chapter “Legal Requirements for Riding on Public Roads”).

d. Are you familiar with the brake system? Have a look at the bike card

and check whether the brake lever of the front brake is on the side

you are used to (right or left). If it is not, you will need to train to get

used to the new configuration, as inadvertent use of the front brake

can throw you off your bike. Or ask your STEVENS dealer to change

the brake levers. Your new bicycle is equipped with modern brakes

which may be far more effective than those you were used to so far.

Be sure to first practise using the brakes off public roads! For more

information see chapter “The Brake System”.

e. Are you familiar with the type and functioning of the gears? If not,

make yourself familiar with the new gears in a place clear of traffic.

For more information see chapter “The Gears”.

f. Are both saddle and handlebars properly adjusted? The saddle should

be set to a height from which you can just reach the pedal in its low-

est position with your heel. Check whether your toes reach to the

floor when you are sitting on the saddle. Your STEVENS dealer will be

pleased to help you, if you are not happy with your seating position.

For more information see chapter “Adjusting the Bicycle to the Rider”.

g. If your bicycle is equipped with clipless or step-in pedals: Have you

ever tried the shoes they go with? Do not set off until you have prac-

tised engaging and disengaging the shoes from the pedals in sta-

tionary. For more information see chapter “The Pedal Systems“. In

addition, read the operating instructions of the pedals that you have

received from your STEVENS dealer.

h. If you have bought a bicycle with suspension fork, you should ask

your STEVENS dealer to have it properly adjusted before delivery.

Improperly adjusted suspension components are liable to malfunc-

tion or damage. In any case they will impair the performance of your

bicycle as well as your safety whilst riding. For more information see

chapters “Suspension Forks“, “Full Suspension of the Mountain Bike

Models”.
