Intended use
Keep in mind that every type of bike is designed for
a specific use
(a-d) . Use your CENTURION bike
only for to its intended purpose, otherwise it may not
withstand the loads and fail causing an accident with
unforeseeable consequences! In addition, if you use
your bike for another than its intended purpose, the
warranty will become void.
Ask your CENTURION dealer to confirm the category
your CENTURION bike belongs to.
G
CENTURION bikes used in extreme rid-
ing situations or competitions require
clearly increased riding skills. Not all
CENTURION bikes are suitable for such use. Ask
your CENTURION dealer before such a use. If
you decide to use your bike in such a way, you
voluntarily assume a highly increased injury risk
which can even result in death. In addition, your
CENTURION bike is exposed to higher loads and
you hereby accept a clearly reduced service life
of the CENTURION bike.
G
CENTURION bikes in general are not in-
tended for being used on bike trainers
with clamps. The forces acting on the
rear frame are highly increased compared to the
forces arising when cycling outdoor and may re-
sult in frame failure. Therefore, do not use your
CENTURION bike on a trainer to which it has to
be clamped somehow. The use on free bike roll-
ers is permitted.
G
Many magazines, advertisements, cat-
alogs or films show riders engaged in
extreme riding situations. These are
professionals who have built up enormous riding
skills during years of training. Always estimate
your own limits defensively; do not overestimate
you. Always wear adequate protective safety
equipment. But even with state-of-the-art pro-
tective equipment you are at risk of being seri-
ously injured or killed, when doing extreme riding
maneuvers or participating in competitions.
