Load capacity

The maximum load (rider + luggage) is 130 kgs

(286 lbs.).The maximum total weight (bicycle

+ rider + luggage) is 150 kgs (330 lbs.).The lo-

wer limit is valid. It is important to adjust the

spring stiffness of the suspension according to

the load, see the chapter about adjusting the

suspension in this manual, 16.

With an attached trailer, the maximum total

weight must not be higher than 150 kg

(330 lbs)

Carrying luggage

Luggage transport is only allowed with the in-

tegrated seat rack, with a bicycle bag at the

upper seat stay and with bags at the optional

lowrider rack.You can put smaller items like a

repair kit, your mobile phone or your wallet in

the integrated bags at the lower end of the

back rest.

Maximum load:

● rear rack 25 kgs (57 lbs.)

● bicycle bag at the back rest 15 kgs (34 lbs.)

● zipped bag in back rest 1 kgs (2.3 lbs)

● lowrider rack under the seat 25 kgs (57 lbs.)

Additional loading can influence the road per-

formance of your bike considerably. If you plan

on riding with heavy luggage we advise you to

make a test ride on a street with no traffic to

get used to the new situation.

The load should be packed as close to the bo-

dy of the rider as possible, since this results in

a better riding performance.You can also im-

prove the handling of the bike by positioning

the center of gravity of the luggage as low as

possible, so pack heavy items in the bottom of

your panniers.

Be careful that your luggage is safely stored on

the racks. Bags must be tightly fastened to the

rack or to the lowrider carrier that is available

as accessory. Make sure that loose parts like

straps or belts can not touch the wheels, the

derailleur, or the suspension.

We recommend bicycle bags by O

RTLIEB.You

can buy them with extra large hooks matching

the oversized tubes of the rack.You can also

retrofit those large hooks later.

Take care that your luggage does not cover

the lighting system and the reflectors of your

bicycle and that they stay fully functional.

In case you want to park your bicycle take ca-

re to lean it on a wall or any other solid ob-

ject.With the kickstand alone it is not possible

to safely park a bicycle loaded with luggage, it

could fall down and be damaged.
