intended use

Gravity, Freeride, Downhill

INTENDED for riding that includes the most

difﬁcult terrain that only very skilled riders should

attempt.

Gravity, Freeride, and Downhill are terms which

describe hardcore mountain, north shore, dirt

jumping, slopestyle, hucking etc. This is “extreme”

riding and the terms describing it are constantly

evolving.

Gravity,Freeride, and Downhill bikes are heavier

and have more suspension travel than All-

Mountain bikes, allowing them to be ridden in

more difﬁcult terrain, over larger obstacles and

larger jumps. Gravity,Freeride, and Downhill bikes

are bikes are the longest in suspension travel and

use components that ﬁt heavy duty intended use.

While all that is true, there is no guarantee that

some extreme riding will not break a Freeride bike.

The terrain and type of riding that Freeride

bikes are designed for is inherently dangerous.

Appropriate equipment, such as a Freeride bike,

does not change this reality. In this kind of riding,

bad judgment, bad luck, or riding beyond your

capabilities can easily result in an accident, where

you could be seriously injured, paralyzed or killed.

NOT INTENDED to be an excuse to try anything!

Read our “Freeride & Downhill” warning on pages

4 and 5.

TRADE OFF Freeride bikes are more rugged than

All-Mountain bikes, for riding more difﬁcult terrain.

Freeride bikes are heavier and harder to ride uphill

than All-Mountain bikes.

WARNING

USING YOUR BICYCLE IMPROPERLY IS

HAZARDOUS.

about freeriding & downhill

WARNING

FREERIDING AND OTHER FORMS OF “EXTREME RIDING” ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

YOU CAN BE SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Freeriding, jumping, hucking, dirt jumping, mountaincross, downhill, slalom, slopestyle,

urban or street riding or other evolving forms of extreme or hard core mountain biking

are inherently dangerous and can lead to serious accidents. Wear all safety gear and be

sure your bike is in excellent condition. Follow all the instructions and warnings below.

These steps will reduce, but not eliminate, the inherent risks. Even with state of the art

protective safety gear you could be seriously injured, paralyzed or killed. If you do not

want to take these risks, do not engage in this type of riding.

Fundamental Risk

Freeriding, jumping, hucking, dirt jumping, mountaincross, downhill, slalom, slope-

style, urban or street riding. It seems that everywhere you look, from Mountain Dew®

commercials to the X-Games® to the Red Bull®Rampage, riders are grabbing big air and

sticking sick drops. And it sure looks fun.

But what the videos and bike magazines and ads don’t always tell you is that extreme

riding takes an amazing amount of skill. Some of the riders you see are well-paid pros

who have gradually built up their skills through endless hours of practice, and who have

also had their share of stitches, concussions and busted bones (and bikes). Others are

daredevils who have chosen to accept or ignore the risks. Would you allow anyone to

say that you are so weak in the head, and have such poor judgment that you copy those

you see in the media without thought of the serious risks?

The stakes are high if you screw up. Realize too late that you aren’t up to the challenge,

and you run the risk of major injury or even – say it aloud – death, paralysis. In short,

extreme riding carries a high degree of fundamental risk, and you bear the ultimate

responsibility for how you ride and what you attempt to pull off. Do you want to avoid

these signiﬁcant risks? Then do not ride this way.

Product Limitations

Problems of pilot error aside, hard-core riding also beats the heck out of your equip-

ment. Although we build and test our bikes to make them tough, there’s no way that

we can guarantee they’ll survive your umpteenth six-foot drop. For starters, there is no

industry “jumping” standard. The many circumstances of takeoff, landing, speed, rider

technique, etc. are unique. The judgment, lack of judgment or insanity of a rider who

may ride a Cannondale bicycle cannot be completely predicted, so it’s ﬂat-out impos-

sible to predict how anyone’s equipment is going to hold up.

Let’s get another thing straight. Buying a Freeride bike does not make you any better.

Do not confuse the built-in capabilities of equipment with your own capabilities, which

must be learned.

Keeping your bike and all its components in good working order is critical, and it’s up

to you to maintain and inspect it. Even so, your sweet rig isn’t going to last forever.

Nothing does, particularly bikes and parts that are built to minimize weight and then

are subjected to abuse. Cannondale frames carry a warranty, but that’s to cover issues

with workmanship and/or materials. (See the Cannondale Warranties section of the

Owner’s Manual.) The warranty doesn’t mean that they’re going to last forever. They’re

not. The warranty certainly doesn’t mean that the bicycle can in any way protect you

from injury.

In Conclusion

If you’re going hard-core, be smart about it. Always wear a full face helmet, body armor,

full-ﬁnger gloves and protective clothing. Choose a bike that’s right for you, your riding

and terrain, and check it often for signs of fatigue or other trouble. (Your dealer can help

you on both fronts.) Read the Mountain Bike Riding section of the Cannondale Bicycle

Owner’s Manual. And most importantly, know your limitations. Practice. Stay in control,

and carefully, gradually expand your limits – but ride within them.

building up a frameset

Consult with your Cannondale Dealer and the component manufacturers and frankly

discuss your riding style, ability, weight, and interest in and patience for maintenance.

Generally speaking, lighter weight components have shorter lives. In selecting lightweight

components you are making a trade-off, favoring the higher performance that comes with

less weight over longevity. If you choose more lightweight components you must inspect

them more frequently. If you are a heavier rider or have a rough, abusive or “go for it” riding

style, buy heavy duty components.

Make sure the components chosen are compatible with your bike and intended for your

weight and riding style. Read and follow the component manufacturers warnings and

instructions.

selecting rear shocks

WARNING

SELECT ONLY COMPATIBLE SHOCKS AND FORKS FOR YOUR BIKE. DO NOT MODIFY YOUR

BIKE IN ANY WAY TO MOUNT ONE. HAVE YOUR SHOCK OR FORK INSTALLED BY A

PROFESSIONAL BIKE MECHANIC

• Riding with the wrong rear shock can damage the frame. You could have a serious

accident. Make sure the total travel, eye-to-eye length, and stroke length of the rear

shock you select meet the speciﬁcations listed in this manual.

• When selecting different shocks or forks for your bike, make sure that the shock or fork

you select is compatible with your bike’s design and how you will use your bike.

sag

Sag is the distance the bike suspension compresses with a rider (wearing all appropriate

gear) mounted in a normal riding position (seated, hands on handlebar and feet on the

pedals) on ﬂat ground.

The recommended sag for your bike is intended to maximize the bike’s suspension travel

and it is usually speciﬁed as a percentage (%) of the fork or shock’s total travel.

Maintaining the recommended sag in both the front and rear suspension helps assure that

the fork and shock operate normally without excessive top-out or bottom-out that can lead

to difﬁcult handling or damage.

120027.PDF

CAUTION

Please read the fork and rear shock manufacturer’s owner’s manual and instructions

provided before attempting any set-up or adjustment.

Small adjustments to sag are performed by adjusting preload of the shock or fork. This is

done by adding or removing spring shims, adjusting the installed length of the spring with

a preload adjusting ring, or with air springs, changing air pressure settings.

Larger adjustments to sag may require changing the installed springs in the fork or shock.

Changing the spring may be a simple task or very complex depending on the design of the

fork or shock. In general: increasing preload decreases sag, decreasing preload increases sag.

Finding a suitable sag setting within the suspension fork or rear shock range is a matter of

personal preference taking body weight and how you ride into consideration.

chain length

When building a frameset into a bike, or when you need to replace your chain, there are two

methods to determine the correct chain length:

METHOD 1

Position the chain on the largest front chain ring, the largest rear cog, and through the rear

derailleur (with the cage at a 45° angle). Measure the chain length required and add two

full links more to the length.

METHOD 2

Remove the rear shock to simulate full compression of the suspension. With the chain on

the big front chain ring, the big rear cog, and through the rear derailleur (with the cage at a

45° angle), measure the chain length. Use the actual chain length measured.

WARNING

Riding with the wrong chain length (one that is too short or too long) may damage the

chain, rear derailleur, derailleur hanger, swingarm, and/or other drivetrain components,

and may cause a crash, possibly resulting in injury or death.

Make sure chain length is correct. Consult with your Cannondale Dealer.

chain retention devices

The bottom bracket design is compatible with chain retention devices conforming to the

International Standard Chain Guide 2005 (ISCG 05).

However, due to variances in design within the ISCG 05 standard and component quality,

some “compatible” devices may ﬁt and work better than others. For that reason, we

recommend that you run the rear suspension through its complete range of travel when

checking the device for interference. As always, its a great idea to consult with your

Cannondale Dealer about compatibility before deciding on any component for your bike.

maximum fork length

Maximum Fork Length is an important frame safety testing speciﬁcation. You must

observe the measurement when installing headset parts, headset adapters, installing

and adjusting a fork, and replacement forks. The speciﬁcation is printed on a warning

label indicated in the ﬁgure below. In this manual, the number is also listed in the

specifications section.

MAXIMUM

FORK

LENGTH

WARNING

MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH

See Owner’s Manual Supplement.

The Maximum Fork Length

in millimeters will be printed

on the label.

HEADTUBE

HEADSET

PARTS or

ADAPTERS

WARNING

DO NOT INSTALL HEADSET PARTS OR FORKS RESULTING IN A MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH

LONGER THAN THE SPECIFICATION FOR YOUR FRAME. DO NOT ADJUST A TRIPLE CLAMP FORK

SO THAT MAXIMUM FORK LENGTH EXCEEDS THE FRAME LIMIT. Exceeding the MAXIMUM

FORK LENGTH limit can overload the frame causing it to fail (break) while riding.

YOU CAN BE SEVERELY INJURED, PARALYZED OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT

IF YOU IGNORE THIS WARNING.

HOW TO MEASURE:

1. Temporarily install the

fork into the headtube

with the headset/

adapter in use.

2. Fully extend the fork.

If the fork is a triple

clamp type, extend

the legs to maximum

designed length.

3. Measure the distance

from the bottom of

the head tube to the

center of the wheel

axle.

Do not measure from

the bottom of headset

bearing cups or head

tube adapters. The

measurement MUST be

taken from the bottom of

the head tube!!

selecting tires

Any properly installed and inﬂated tire must not contact any part of the swingarm, frame,

or fork and throughout full suspension travel.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) requires at least 1/16” (1.6 mm) tire

clearance from any part of the bike. Allowing for lateral rim ﬂex and a wheel or rim that is

out-of-true will likely mean choosing a rear tire that provides even more clearance than the

CPSC recommends.

Also, your choice of replacement tires should be made only after considering the clearance

guidelines contained in suspension product owner’s manual.

If the manufacturer’s manual contains no such guidelines, or if you don’t have a manual,

consider that Rock Shox requires at least 1/4” (5 mm) clearance between the tire and the

fork crown or bridge when the fork is completely compressed.

Be aware that completely compressing the fork may involve removing the spring stack,

letting the air out of the fork, or both.

WARNING

SELECT PROPERLY SIZED/ FITTED TIRES FOR YOUR BIKE.

Mounting the wrong size tires on your bike can increase the chances that you will have

an accident where you can be severely injured, paralyzed, or killed. If the tires touch the

frame or fork when riding, you can lose control of your bike. If a moving tire is stopped

because it touches the frame or fork, you can be thrown off the bike. You can be severely

injured or killed.

Do not mount oversized tires, ones that rub or touch the frame, ones that result in

too little clearance with the frame, or ones that can touch the frame or fork when the

suspension is fully compressed or when riding.

Take care that the tires you select are compatible with your bike’s frame design. Also, be

sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations of your front fork and rear shocks.

Ask your Cannondale Dealer for the right tires for your bike and its particular

components!
