The functional ranges are also colloquially known as gravity, freeride, north shore, slopestyle and downhill. For
these functional ranges, it is essential to ensure that the attachments are checked for possible damage after each

Bear in mind that this is a dangerous extreme sport, which can lead to unexpectedly high and unforeseen material stresses, even with
very good cycling skills and track knowledge. In extreme cases, this can lead to overloading and component failure of the bicycle and its
components, especially the stem. The above-mentioned functional range is very risky. You must expect unavoidable falls, injuries and
paralysis or even death.
