SU-01
• Avoid contact with hard or sharp items. Do not rest your bike with the top tube of the frame against a column
or corner of a building.
• When xing the wheel, place the entire bike in a stand and clamp the seatpost and avoid high side loads; this
especially applies when replacing the bottom bracket and cranks/crankset. High loads can lead to damage
of the seatpost or frame.
• When transporting the bike on a car, use a bike carrier that xes the bike using the seatpost or front wheel
axle. Do not x the bike to the frame.
• Frames are not suitable for use on stationary bicycles xed to the
rear stay. The bike then cannot move, which leads to excessive load
on the end of the frame. This can cause damage to the frame.
• The frame is not suitable for the xture of any children's seats or
carriers.
• If you are transporting the bike in a box, make sure that the bike is
kept safe, for instance by using a soft foam cover. Make sure that
there are no foreign items or that excessive pressure or force from
these items cannot damage the frame. Please keep in mind that the warranty does not apply to damage
caused during transit.
• Neither the frame nor the carbon components can ever come in contact with high temperatures such as those
used in the case of powder spraying or cauterizing varnish. Such temperatures can damage the frame and
components. Also avoid leaving the bike in a car in case of strong solar radiation. Similarly, do not keep your
bike in the vicinity of sources of high temperatures.

Superior supplies high-quality bicycles exclusively for specialized shops. These products are already partially pre-
assembled.
The nal assembly of a bike for riding can only be carried out by an authorized Superior dealer. This particularly
applies to the basic conguration of suspension components, the front and back derailleurs and braking systems.
This will ensure maximum safety when using the product.
WARNING
WARNINGS RELATED TO
MECHANICAL WORK
Specialized skills and tools are required to
congure and tune the bike. These tasks should
only be carried out by employees at an authorized
service station. Riding a bike which has not been
correctly congured and assembled can be
dangerous. Even a seemingly trivial deciency,
such as a loose screw, can cause a crucial part to
break over time and the loss of control of the bike,
leading to an accident. Therefore, we recommend
that you leave any repairs and maintenance for
your bicycle to an authorized service centre. Your
safety depends on the correct maintenance of the
bike. Employees of authorized service stations
have special qualications and know-how.
WARNING
Any adjustments and modications can lead to
the frame, fork or other parts becoming unsafe.
The use of an unapproved component or the
incorrect assembly of parts can lead to excessive
wear and tear of the bike or its parts. Adjustments
to the frame, fork or other components can have
a negative impact on the handling of the bike and
may lead to a fall. Do not grind off, drill or le any
parts, do not remove backup safety elements, do
not install incompatible forks and do not make
any other similar unauthorized changes. Before
you install any accessories on your bicycle, or
replace any part, always consult the authorized
service center to make sure the particular
accessory or part is compatible and safe to use.
Type-3 operating conditions
Riding on paved roads, on- and offroad with drops, rough trails, rough unpaved roads,
and rough terrain and unimproved trails that require technical skills. Jumps and drops
are intended to be less than 61 cm (24'')
BIKE CATEGORY
PREVENTION OF DAMAGE
Mountain bikes are equipped with a rear suspension with short travel and are constructed for “standard,” “racing”,
“cross-country” or “singletrack-trail” rides, assuming adherence to type-3 operating conditions:
SERVICE INTERVALS
WARNING
The warranty may be voided if the service intervals and prescribed torques are not adhered to.
• Large-scale service – At an authorized service centre, at least 1× per year or after 200 hours of riding.
• Check the tightening of moving parts before and after each ride. The prescribed torques of individual joints
(see the diagram below) must be strictly observed.
• Bearings and pivots should be lubricated at least 1× per half a year.
• Consult your dealer about the exact service plan and maintenance schedule of your bicycle. The dealer shall
propose the schedule depending on the model of your bicycle and the way you use it. The service intervals
stated above are the recommended maximum intervals for regular bicycle maintenance, i.e. they cannot be
extended under any circumstance. If you ride your bicycle more intensively, or if your dealer advises you to, we
recommend that you shorten the intervals and extend the scope of tasks carried out. For example, if you ride
your bicycle in adverse climatic conditions, over hard terrain or if you have equipped your bicycle with specic
components with a different service interval and scope of regular maintenance stated by their manufacturer
(exact instructions regarding the service of particular components will be provided by your dealer).
SETTING THE FORK
AND REAR SHOCK
SETTING THE REBOUND FOR THE FORK AND REAR SHOCK
• Rebound is a term used to describe the speed of the fork or rear shock returning to its original position after
absorbing a shock. The control for adjusting the rebound is usually located on the can of the rear shock or at
the lower end of the fork leg.
• When sitting on the saddle, ride off of an edge of approx. 10 -15 cm in height.
• If the shock rocks 1 or 2 times, the rebound is set correctly.
• If the shock rocks more than 3 times, the rebound is too fast.
• If the shock does not rock at all, the rebound is too slow.
Depending on your riding style and the way you use your bike,
the sag should range between 15-25% of the travel

CONFIGURING THE FORK AND REAR SHOCK STIFFNESS (SAG)
• The fork and the rear shock must always be unlocked while being congured.
• Move the rubber indication ring located on the inner fork leg and the shock body to the dust cap.
• Sit on the bicycle with your full weight and then get off it carefully, without rocking the bike.
• Check the position of the ring and make sure that the fork and the rear shock are set in accordance with the
values stated in the chart (see below), or adjust the pressure in the fork as needed.
