ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

ADJUSTING THE SUSPENSION ELEMENTS
(REAR SHOCK AND SUSPENSION FORK)
The suspension elements that we use allow for a variety of adjustments.
When making adjustments, please note the detailed instructions of the
manufacturer of the suspension elements.
You can fi nd up-to-date information on their websites, respectively:
BOS: http://www.bosmtb.com
RockShox: https://www.sram.com/de/rockshox
CAUTION!! NEVER OPERATE YOUR BICYCLE WITH INSUFFICIENT OR EXCESS
AIR PRESSURE! THIS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE FORK OR SHOCKS.
BASIC SETTINGS
The weight of the rider and his position on the bicycle determine the adjustment criteria for
the rear shock and suspension fork. When sitting on the bike, the suspension will compress
to a certain degree – the so-called “sag.” Sag should be between 25% and 30% for Enduro
bikes, between 30% and 40% for Downhill bikes, and between 10% and 20% for Dirt bikes.
The “sag value” that corresponds to your riding style is best determined with a few test rides.
Test rides and personal preferences will determine the settings of the compression and
rebound speeds of the suspension elements.
CAUTION!! Please note:
Your bike’s handling is infl uenced with each and every adjustment to the suspension
elements – therefore, please be careful on your fi rst test rides to avoid falls and crashes.
Avoid any adjustments that could lead to the suspension elements frequently bottoming
out. They will thank you with a long service life. If you are uncertain of anything or have any
questions, do not hesitate to contact us at: [email protected]
GET TO KNOW YOUR BIKE
Familiarize yourself with your new bike. Verify once again that all screws are tightened to
the correct torque. The table on page 31 gives you an overview of all torque specifi cations.
Our bikes are equipped with modern disc brake systems with exceptional braking
performance. In addition, the braking performance increases after a short break-in period.
Try to get used to the braking response and how it differs when riding over various surfaces.
Position the brake levers at your fi ngertips so that they can be pulled forcefully without
excessive effort. The same applies to the shifters. Shift smoothly and without applying too
much pressure to the pedals.This will help protect your drive train components.
Please choose a safe and familiar terrain for your initial test and training rides.
You can fi nd all you need to know about your bike in our “SAFETY FIRST” manual as well.
Familiarize yourself with the bike manual before getting on your bike the fi rst time.
BEFORE EACH RIDE
By nature, mountain bikes are placed under a lot of strain. The components
of the bike react differently to stresses, from wear and tear to material fatigue.
Individual components may fail without warning. Please check your bike regularly
for signs of damage and/or have your bike periodically inspected.
CHECK BEFORE EVERY RIDE:
- that the seatpost and wheels are fi rmly secured in the frame and fork
- that the wheels spin freely
- the air pressure in the tires, the tension of the spokes and the hub bearing play
- the brake function
- signs of material fatigue (deformations, fractures, cracks, signs of impact, etc.)
- all additional components for stability and operational safety
- the required torques for all screws
Do not ride even if only one of the possible defects is present.
CAUTION!! Vibrations that occur when riding your mountain bike can lead
to screws loosening (even for screws with threadlocker adhesive)!
IN THE EVENT OF A FALL
Falls place a lot of strain on your bike’s material and components.
Therefore, before you continue on your ride, check your bike for damage
and impaired functions (see “Check Before Every Ride”).
Do not continue your ride even if only one of the possible defects is present.
If you are uncertain of anything or have any questions, do not hesitate
to contact us directly at: [email protected]

Only regular inspections, care and maintenance,immediate professional repair,and the
replacement of damaged components can guarantee the safe function of your bike over
the long term. If you do not possess the necessary specialist knowledge or tools to
carry out the required work yourself, a trip to the workshop is essential.
For guidance, we have prepared some maintenance information:
Initial inspection, depending on how hard you ride,after 5 to 15 hours of operation.
This includes:
- Checking the torques on all screws and nuts and tightening them if necessary
- Changing the length of the shifter cable by correcting the tension via adjustment
(barrel adjuster on the shifter)
- Checking the spoke tension on the wheels and that the wheels are true and
adjusting spoke tension if necessary
- Checking the headset preload
MONTHLY INSPECTIONS:
- Checking the profi le height and sidewalls of the tires.
Replacing worn or “washed out” tires
- Measuring the strength of the disc brake pads.

INFORMATION ON THE HANDLING AND USE OF BIKE FRAMES MADE FROM CARBON (CFRP)
TO AVOID DAMAGE TO PERSONS AND PROPERTY WE ASK YOU
TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
The use of carbon (carbon fi ber reinforced plastic / CFRP) makes it possible for us to produce
high-performance products for our customers. Since these components and frame elements
can be sensitive and delicate under certain conditions, there is a risk of breaks which could
lead to accidents and property damage in the event of improper use, assembly errors or
poor maintenance and care. That is why being knowledgeable about this material is
important for enjoying a carbon frame in the long term.
When these products are overstressed, no lasting deformations are visible even though the
inner structure could be damaged. In addition, rock impacts or messy falls involving impacts
on edges can result in invisible damages and/or delamination (= carbon layers dissolve)
of the carbon material.
For these reasons, an element or frame made of CFRP can fail without perceptible warning..
CONTACTYT INDUSTRIES IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU HAVE A FALL!
Pay attention if your carbon frame makes unusual snapping noises. This could be a sign of
an impending material defect. If this occurs, stop using the bike immediately.
IF THE FOLLOWING OCCURS, IT IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO HAVE THE
FRAME INSPECTED BY YT INDUSTRIES:
After a fall
Other major mechanical stresses
Unusual noises from the frame (e.g. snapping sounds)
INFORMATION ON FRAME CONSTRUCTION
The manufacture of these high-end products is done by hand.
This can lead to differences in the fi nish which are not cause for complaint.
HOW TO CORRECTLY HANDLE YOUR CARBON FRAME:
General information:
Under no circumstances should you install rings, screw connections,
clamps or other elements which exert mechanical forces on the carbon tube.
Never clamp the carbon tube or carbon seat post of your bike on the gripping
jaws of a work stand or bike rack.
Be careful when using U-locks – under certain circumstances,
they can cause damage to your frame.
Seat cable clamp / seat post:
The prescribed tightening torque of the seat cable clamp bolt is 5 Nm.
The seat post must not be rubbed or otherwise mechanically stressed.
The seat post and seat tube may not be lubricated.
Only carbon assembly paste can be used.
Aluminum seat posts may only be installed when carbon assembly paste is used.
The seat clamp must not be closed when the seat post has been removed.
Carbon Handlebar:
Installing carbon handlebars requires great care and precision. Do not exceed the
specifi ed torque under any circumstances and make sure that the stem does not have
any sharp edges or ridges.
Please note the prescribed tightening torque of the stem manufacturer.
Carbon handlebars can only be installed using carbon assembly paste.
If you would like to shorten the handlebar, note the specifi cations of the manufacturer
or contact us directly.
Rear wheel axle:
To prevent damages to the seat stays, the rear wheel axle must never be completely
closed if the wheel is not in the frame.
Transport:
You must be particularly careful when transporting bikes with carbon frames:
Protect the frame in particular from contact with other parts (use covers, etc.).
Do not use transport fi ttings which use clamping elements.
Clamping forces could damage the frame structure.
Do not place any objects on the frame.
Make sure the bike cannot slide around during transport.
Never transport without rear wheel or rear section transport lock assembled.
CARE INFORMATION:
Your carbon frame needs regular care. Common paint care products with or without silicon
additives and cold to lukewarm water are suitable for cleaning.
You can add common cleaners with normal additives to the cold to lukewarm water.
All solvents must be avoided:
Alcohols (e.g. ethanol or isopropanol)
Hot water with alkaline additives
Do not clean with steam jets or high-pressure cleaners
Check whether your frame has external damage at regular intervals
(e.g. during maintenance):
Cracks
Paint damages
Deformation (bulges, etc.)
Discoloration
SURFACE PROTECTION:
YT Industries carbon frames are equipped with protective foils or protectors made of
polyamide or polyurethane at points which are exposed to particular stress.
Other points could form due to different application areas and conditions (e.g.wearing
knee protectors). These areas must be protected against damage or abrasions with
additional protective foils.
Please check at regular intervals whether the protective foils are still functional.
We recommend replacing the protective foil around tension points once a year.
IF NO WHEEL INSTALLED KEEP REAR WHEEL AXLE LOOSE! USE TRANSPORT LOCK!! CHECK PROTECTIVE FOILS REGULARLY!
