INTENDED For man-made dirt jumps, ramps, skate parks other predictable obstacles and terrain where riders need and use skill and
bike control, rather than suspension. Dirt Jumping bikes are used much like heavy duty BMX bikes.
A Dirt Jumping bike does not give you skills to jump. Read Section 2. F, p. 10.
NOT INTENDED For terrain, drop offs or landings where large amounts of suspension travel are needed to help absorb the shock of
landing and help maintain control.
TRADE OFF Dirt Jumping bikes are lighter and more nimble than Freeride bikes, but they have no rear suspension and the
suspension travel in the front is much shorter.

Cyclo-cross
CONDITION 2
Bikes designed for riding Condition 1, plus smooth gravel roads and improved trails with moderate grades where the tires do not lose
ground contact.
INTENDED For cyclo-cross riding, training and racing. Cyclo-cross involves riding on a variety of terrain and surfaces including dirt or
mud surfaces. Cyclo-cross bikes also work well for all weather rough road riding and commuting.
NOT INTENDED For off road or mountain bike use, or jumping. Cyclo-cross riders and racers dismount before reaching an obstacle,
carry their bike over the obstacle and then remount. Cyclo-cross bikes are not intended for mountain bike use. The relatively large road
bike size wheels are faster than the smaller mountain bike wheels, but not as strong.
