OWNER’S MANUAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Always follow these instructions for protective equipment at every ride to limit risk of injuries in
case of an accident. KUBERG Start, Trial E and Cross is intended for OFF ROAD use and therefore
there is a high likelihood ofdirt and other debris thrown into the air, which represents a risk of an
injury. Also there is a high possibility of an accident or a fall.
The rider should use and wear:
1
A high quality helmet approved by your country’s governing body
2
A helmet face-shieldor goggles
3
Protective clothing that covers rider’s legs, ankles, torso and arms
4
Wrist, knee and elbow protection
5
Heavy boots
6
Gloves made from tearresistantmaterials (leather or kevlar)
7
Motorcycle jacketfrom tearresistantmaterials (leather or Kevlar)
8
Clothing that is brightlycolored so other motorists and trac participants can see you
WARNING: THE RIDER MUST WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, ESPECIALLY HELMET,
BOOTS AND EYE PROTECTION.
HELMETS
There is no single factor that works better at reducing the severity of injuries sustained in acci-
dents more than a quality helmet. Don’t ever allow your KUBERG motorcycle to be ridden without
a helmet.
CLOTHING
Motorcycle leathers can prevent abrasion injuries in the event of a fall. Failure to use appropriate
safety equipment greatly increases the likelihood of death or serious injury in the event of an
accident.
Neverwearloose-ttingclothes,otherwisetheycouldcatchon wheels, chains, control levers
or footrests.
Do not wear shoes with laces as these can get caught in motorcycle’s chain or wheels and
result in a serious injury.
Boots should not have laces.
