SAFETY INFORMATION
Important Composites
Message
Your bike (frame and components) is
made from composite materials also
known as “carbon ber.”
All riders must understand a
fundamental reality of composites.
Composite materials constructed of
carbon bers are strong and light, but
when crashed or overloaded, carbon
bers do not bend, they break.
For your safety, as you own and use
the bike, you must follow proper
service, maintenance, and inspection
of all the composites (frame, stem,
fork, handlebar, seat post, etc.) Ask
your Cannondale Dealer for help.
We urge you to read PART II, Section
D. “Inspect For Safety” in your
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
BEFORE you ride.
You can be severely injured,
paralyzed or killed in an accident if
you ignore this warning.
Inspection & Crash
Damage Of Carbon
Frames/Forks
After A Crash Or Impact:
Inspect frame carefully for damage
(See PART II, Section D. Inspect For
Safety in your
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual.
Do not ride your bike if you see any
sign of damage, such as broken,
splintered, or delaminated carbon
ber.
Any of the following may indicate a
delamination or damage:
· An unusual or strange feel to the
frame
· Carbon which has a soft feel or
altered shape
· Creaking or other unexplained
noises,
· Visible cracks, a white or milky
color present in carbon ber
section
Continuing to ride a damaged
frame increases the chances of
frame failure, with the possibility of
injury or death of the rider.

Intended Use
The intended use of
all models is ASTM
CONDITION 4,
All-Mountain.
Understand your bike and its
intended use. Using your bike the
wrong way is dangerous.
Please read your Cannondale Bicycle
Owner’s Manual for more information
about Intended Use and Conditions

Servicing
This supplement may include
procedures beyond the scope of
general mechanical aptitude.
Special tools, skills, and knowledge
may be required. Improper
mechanical work increases the risk
of an accident. Any bicycle accident
has risk of serious injury, paralysis or
death.
To minimize risk we strongly
recommend that owners always
have mechanical work done by an
Authorized Cannondale Dealer.

Maximum Fork Length
Maximum Fork Length is an important frame safety testing specification for front
suspension mountain bikes. You must observe the measurement when installing
headset parts, headset adapters, installing and adjusting a fork, and selecting
replacement forks.
To Center Of
The Fork Axle
From
Bottom Of Frame
Head Tube
Maximum
Fork
Length
You must select a replacement fork not only based on head tube diameter but the
critical factor of frame maximum fork length
Do not exceed maximum fork length. Exceeding the MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH limit
can overload the frame causing it to break while riding.
Your retailer MUST follow and observe this specification for your bike. For Maximum Fork
Length specifications for Cannondale bicycles, see www.cannondale.com.
You can be severely injured, paralyzed or killed in an accident if you ignore this warn-
ing.

Tire Size x Maximum Width
Observe the Tire Size x Maximum Width for your bike found in the
“Specifications” page of this manual.
Mounting the wrong size tires can result in the tires hitting the fork or frame
when riding. If this happens, you can lose control of your bike and you can be
thrown off, a moving tire can be stopped because it touches the fork or frame.
Do not mount oversized tires, ones that rub or hit the fork or frame, ones that
result in too little clearance, or ones that can hit the fork or frame when the
suspension is fully compressed or when riding.
Take care that the tires you select are compatible with your bike’s fork or frame
design. Also, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations of your
front fork and rear shocks.
When you are considering tires for your bike consider...
The actual measured size of a tire may be different than its sidewall marking.
Each time you mount a new tire, take the time to inspect the actual clearance
between the rotating tire and all parts of the frame. The U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) requires at least 1/16” (1.6 mm) tire clearance
from any part of the bike. Allowing for lateral rim flex and a wheel or rim that
is out-of-true will likely mean choosing a rear tire that provides even more
clearance than the CPSC recommends.
Ask your dealer for the right tires for your bike and its particular components!
You can be severely injured, paralyzed or killed in an accident if you ignore
this warning.

Minimum Seat Post
Insert
Make sure at least 100 mm of the
seat post is inserted into the frame
at all times.
Failure to insert the seat post at least
100 mm can place a very high stress
on the seat tube top tube junction
causing the frame to fail while riding.
Remove the seat post. Measure 100
mm from the bottom of the seat post.
Use a permanent marker to mark the
post at 100 mm.
When adjusting the seat post height
in the seat tube, never adjust the
seat post so that the line you mark is
above the top edge of the seat tube.
You must also be aware that bicycle
seat posts are permanently marked
by the manufacturer with a “minimum
insert” line on the seat post itself.
You must not rely on this marking as
an indication of the proper minimum
seat post insertion depth.
You can be severely injured,
paralyzed or killed in an accident if
you ignore this warning.
Rear Shocks
Select only compatible shocks and
forks for your bike. Do not modify
your bike in any way to mount one.
Have your shock or fork installed by a
professional bike mechanic
Riding with the wrong rear shock can
damage the frame. You could have a
serious accident. Make sure the total
travel, eye-to-eye length, and stroke
length of the rear shock you select
meet the “Specications” listed in
this manual.
When selecting different shocks
or forks for your bike, make sure
that the shock or fork you select is
compatible with your bike’s design
and how you will use your bike.
You can be severely injured,
paralyzed or killed in an accident if
you ignore this warning.
