3.4 Adjusting the sprung seatpost
DANGER
It is best to ask your cycle dealer to adjust the suspension elements of
the seatpost.
1. Remove the seatpost.
2. Tighten the suspension adjustment screw with an Allen key (6 mm
AF) in the clockwise direction to reduce the suspension or loosen
anticlockwise to increase the suspension.
DANGER
The suspension adjustment screw must not
protrude from the seatpost, otherwise the
screw/seatpost can loosen – if this happens
while riding you could fall o, resulting in
serious injuries.

3.5 Adjusting the height and angle of the handlebars
DANGER
Ask your cycle dealer to perform these adjustments. You can otherwise
run the risk of loosening the handlebars which could lead to a fall
causing severe injuries.
3.6 Adjusting the headset
DANGER
We recommend asking your cycle dealer to assemble and adjust the
bike.
Please use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts, and observe the
prescribed tightening torque. Failure to comply can result in screws/
bolts becoming loose, tearing away or fracturing. If that happens
while you are riding the bike, components may come o and you
could have a severe crash. If screws are overtightened, components
can also be damaged. If you are unsure how to set the tightening
torque, please ask your cycle dealer.
There are two ways of testing whether the headset for
your bicycle is too tight or too loose:
1. Grip the lower spacer with your thumb and forenger.
Squeeze the front brake and move the wheel backward
and forward. If the headset is too loose, there will be
signicant bucking at the lower spacer.
