Warning
Images of the SQlab 3OX, SQlab 3OX Carbon and SQlab 311-
FL-X Carbon handlebars in advertisements, social media,
magazines and catalogues oen show riders in extreme situ-
ations that are very dangerous and can lead to serious injury
or even death. The cyclists shown are mostly professionals,
with a lot of experience and many years of practice. Do not
try to recreate these manoeuvres without the necessary ex-
perience and practice.
• Always wear suitable protective equipment (full face hel-
met, knee and elbow pads, back protector, gloves, etc.).
• Participate in cycling technique courses that prepare you
according to the conditions of use.
• Ask the race organiser, track attendant and/or other cy-
clists about the current track conditions.
• Increase the number of unscheduled inspections accord-
ing to use.
• Replace your handlebars more frequently and prophylacti-
cally, especially if there is the slightest suspicion of over-
load and the least sign of a defect.
• Always be aware of your own limitations and those of your
equipment on fast descents, jumps, drops, and other ex-
treme manoeuvres.
• Expect serious injuries despite protective gear, plenty of
practice and a long period of experience.
Warning
Each component has its load limit, which can be exceeded in
extreme manoeuvres. If the handlebars are overloaded, this
may cause failure or breakage. Observe the following:
• Never exceed the permitted system and rider weight.
• Frequent inspection intervals, especially aer a situation
in which particularly high or sudden force is applied, for
example cycling mistakes resulting in a crash.
• In case of doubt, the possibly damaged component should
be prophylactically replaced, especially aer a situation
with particularly high or sudden force is applied, for exam-
ple cycling mistakes resulting in a crash.
• If you have the slightest doubt, you should ask your SQlab
dealer for advice.
• Aer replacing a component that cannot immediately seen
to be defective, to protect third parties, the (possibly) dam-
aged part must be made denitively unusable.
