Warning
Each component has its load limit, which can be exceeded in extreme manoeuvres. Note the following:
• Never exceed the permitted system or rider weight
• Use your grips only within the specied ASTM use category, or lower use category (per ASTM F2043-13).
• Aer situations in which especial or unexpected force has been exerted, such as aer a fall, a cycling mistake or an accident, make an
extraordinary inspection. If in doubt, the potentially damaged component should be replaced prophylactically. In such a case, play it
safe and ask your SQlab dealer for advice.
• For the protection of third parties, a component which is not immediately and obviously recognisable as being defective should be
clearly marked as unusable.
Warning
Images of SQlab and OX grips in advertisements, social media, magazines and catalogues oen show riders in extreme situations
that are very dangerous and can lead to serious injury or even death. The cyclists shown are mostly professionals who have a lot of experi-
ence and many years of practice. Do not try to recreate these manoeuvres without the necessary experience and practice.
• Always wear suitable protective equipment (full face helmet, 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 cyclists about the current track conditions.
• Increase the unscheduled inspections according to use.
• Replace the handlebars more frequently and prophylactically, especially if there is the slightest suspicion of overload 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 extreme manoeuvres.
• Expect serious injuries despite protective gear, plenty of practice and a long period of experience.
eBike Ready
SQlab products bearing the "eBike Ready" rating are suitable for use on pedelecs from the point of view of function, ergonomics and
operational stability (in accordance with the standards DIN EN ISO 4210 and DIN EN ISO 15194).
E-bikes and pedelecs with CE mark and pedal assistance up to 25 km/h are covered by the Machinery Directive, therefore components of
these bicycles may not be easily replaced or modied. In order to clarify the situation, a guideline for replacing E-bike/Pedelec 25 parts
Bear in mind that category 5 is a dangerous extreme sport, which can lead to unexpectedly high and unforeseen material stress, even
with very good cycling skills and track knowledge. In extreme cases, this leads to overloading and component failure of the bicycle and
its parts, in particular the handlebars. The above-mentioned functional range is very risky. You must expect unavoidable falls, injuries
and paralysis or even death.
