DUTY OF CARE AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RIDER
The use of this user manual does not release the rider from the duty of care to keep the bicycle in safe operating condition. If you have any questions, a qualified bicycle mechanic or the PROPAIN service
must be consulted. As it is impossible to foresee all situations or circumstances that may occur during riding, this user manual does not guarantee the safe use of the bike under all conditions. There are
risks associated with the use of bikes that cannot be predicted or avoided and are the sole responsibility of the rider.
3.4
INTENDED USE
The intended use of PROPAIN bikes is divided into five different categories – ranging from the riding on paved roads through to downhill or freeride use. The bicycles are to be used exclusively in accordance
with their intended use. Otherwise, the user assumes responsibility. To identify the intended use of your bike, there is a sticker with the use category on the frame of your bike.
