Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the finest line of suspension bikes available!
About Off Road, Stunt, Downhill and Freeriding
This manual is designed to be used in conjunction with the Bicycle Owner’s Manual and owner’s manuals supplied by the
manufacturer of the front and rear suspension components. If you did not receive any of these manuals, download them from the
Internet, contact your dealer, or contact us by telephone. There may be more current manuals and technical information available.
For the most current information , regularly check the Specialized web site or consult your Specialized dealer. These manuals were
written for an important reason: your safety while riding.
This manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or inspect your
bicycle or of failure to follow safe cycling practices. The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word Warning indicates
a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death. The combination of the safety alert
symbol and the word Caution indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury, or damage to your bicycle or a component. Because the consequences of not following a Warning usually include “you
may lose control and fall,” which could result in serious personal injury or death, we may not repeat this in conjunction with each
Warning. Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition which may occur, a practice or situation may be unsafe
but not anticipated by this manual. So, don’t forget to use your common sense.

About Off Road, Stunt, Downhill and Freeriding
Downhill racing, severe off road riding, jumping, and stunt riding is extremely dangerous. Some downhill racers and freeriders
reach speeds similar to motorcycles, thus face similar risks and hazards. When engaging in these activities, you, your bicycle and
safety equipment must be in perfect condition. We recommend that at all times you wear appropriate safety gear, such as an
approved full face helmet, full finger gloves, and body armor.

Not every bicycle is built for every activity. Check with your Specialized dealer to make sure you have the right equipment.
No bicycle is indestructible. Downhill racing, severe off road riding, jumping, and stunt riding increases the stress on every part
No bicycle is indestructible. Downhill racing, severe off road riding, jumping, and stunt riding increases the stress on every part
of your bicycle. Frames or parts under high stress may fail, causing you to lose control or fall. Because of the risk involved,
Specialized recommends that you conduct a thorough inspection before each ride. If you miss a jump, ditch your bike in mid crash,
dump or launch your bike without you on it, inspect yourself for injury, then carefully inspect your bicycle for damage.
