TERMS OF USEEach model of bicycle is designed andmanufactured for a specific use. Using a bicycle fora use other than the one it was designed for can bedangerous for several reasons.Contact an ORBEA dealer to identify or confirm themodel of bicycle appropriate for a specific use.The standard F-2043-13 from ASTM Internationalspecifies five levels of terms of use. Below are thecharacteristics of each level and the correlationwith each ORBEA family.CONDITION 33Riding on irregular and roughterrain, with jumps of less than61cm (condition 3 of ASTMstandard F-2043-13, in additionto the conditions indicated inconditions 1 and 2).Not designed for use withluggage carriers, child seats or trailers.Maximum cyclist weight: 115 kgORBEA bicycle models: Mx and Sport.CONDITION 1Riding limited to paved roadswith tires in constant contactwith the road surface. (condition1 of ASTM standard F-2043-13).1trailers.Not designed for use withluggage carriers, child seats orMaximum cyclist weight: 115 kgORBEA bicycle models: Orca, Avant and Ordu.trailers.4Riding on technically difficultterrain, with jumps andextremelyroughterrain(condition 4 of ASTM standardF-2043-13, in addition to theconditionsindicatedinconditions 1, 2 and 3).Not designed for use with luggage carriers, childseats or trailers.Maximum cyclist weight: 115 kgORBEA bicycle models: Alma, Oiz, Loki andOccamTR.CONDITION 22CONDITION 4Riding on paved or gravel roadsor on unasphalted trails in goodcondition, as well as bike lanes(condition 2 of ASTM standardF-2043-13, in addition to theconditionsindicatedincondition 1).Not designed for use withluggage carriers, child seats orMaximum cyclist weight: 115 kgORBEA bicycle models: Katu, Carpe, Urban, Foldingand Comfort.CONDITION 5Riding on extreme terrain athigh speed; extreme caution isrecommended (This bicycle isno excuse to try just anything!).5trailers.Not designed for use withluggage carriers, child seats orMaximum cyclist weight: 115 kgORBEA bicycle models: Rallon and OccamAM.9
The failure to use the bicycle under these specifiedterms of use would represent restrictions in thewarranty.Regardless of the terms of use corresponding toeach type of bicycle, it is recommended to alwaysobey current traffic laws, wear a helmet andprotective goggles and check the brakes, wheelsand steering, etc., beforehand, as indicated in theChapter “Safety Checks”.With regard to children’s bicycles, theterms of use require the supervision of an adultwho accompanies the child at all times, preventingthem from riding near slopes, curbs, stairs,swimming pools or areas with motor vehicle traffic.If the bicycle is made from compositematerials (carbon) it cannot be exposed totemperatures above 50 ºC, either in use or whileat rest.SERVICE LIFELike all mechanical components, the bicycle issubject to wear and mechanical stress that limitsits service life. The service life will depend on thedesign, material and manufacturing, as well asthe conditions of use, such as the cyclist’s weight,the frequency of use, the aggressiveness ofriding, cleaning and maintenance, environmentalconditions, etc. and so its limit cannot be calculatedprior to use. Therefore, and given that exceedingthe service life of the bicycle could result in anaccident that causes injury to the cyclist, it isrecommended to periodically inspect your bicycleand consult an ORBEA dealer whenever you haveany doubts in this regard. Excessive bending,anomalous operation, cracks or change in colorin high mechanical stress areas may be symptomsthat the bicycle or a specific component havereached the end of their service life and must bereplaced.10
BEFORE FIRST USEIt is extremely important to perform thefollowing checks and adjustments and go througha process of adaption before using the bicycle forthe first time. The following guidelines also applyto those cases in which you intend to use a bikewith an unknown condition.Before the first use, in addition to the followinginstructions, perform all the checks indicated in thechapter “Safety checks”.Ergonomic adjustments affect the control,comfort and performance of the cyclist-bicyclesystem. Its correct adjustment can vary the factorssignificantly, increasing or reducing the safety andenjoyment to a large extent.The following adjustment instructions consist ofa series of basic notions that aim to cover all theminimal requirements in this regard. For moreinformation in this regard, please consult an ORBEAdealer or a biomechanical specialist.If you wish to get the best performancefrom your bicycle fit, we recommend having acomplete fitting with experts.SEAT ADJUSTMENTThe seat adjustment is the most important in termsof performance and comfort.Seat height: To adjust the height of the seat, use aperson or a roller to hold the bicycle while the ridermounts it. Once mounted and seated on the seat,rest your heels on the pedals and pedal backwards.The recommended seat height is that required tocompletely extend the knee to reach the pedal atits lowest point. If you need to balance with yourhips to reach the pedal at its lowest point, then theseat is too high.When performing the adjustments, thereis a specific risk of entrapment.SIZE CHECKHaving a bicycle that matches the measurementsof each cyclist is essential for obtaining thegreatest comfort, performance and safety whenriding a bicycle. For this reason, the po/recommends the most appropriate size in terms ofthe measurements of each cyclist, according to thebasic data on the cyclist.If when pedaling with great intensity, younotice an improvement when sliding back on theseat, it is likely that the seat is too low. If, on theother hand, the need is detected to move towardsthe tip of the seat to pedal, it is likely that the seatis too high.11
To release and lock the seat, use the quick latch(instructions can be found in “Safety checks /Wheels”), or otherwise, use the correspondingscrews), applying the recommended tighteningtorque.This adjustment is used to positionyourself correctly on the bike and ensure acomfortable, efficient pedaling. For this reason,it is recommended to visit an ORBEA dealer for aprecise adjustment.HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENTThe height of the handlebar and its angle areadjustable for greater comfort, efficiency andbetter balance of the rider on the bicycle.When raising the seat post from theminimum level, it should always remain hiddenwithin the frame.If it were necessary to raise the seat post beyondthe minimum insertion mark, it would b necessaryto review the size of the frame or replace the seatpost with a longer model, under the supervision ofan ORBEA dealer.Seat angle: To adjust the seat angle, adjust thetightening mechanism located on the top of theseat post. Consult the user’s manual from the seatprovider and follow the instructions to adjust it.To change both the height and the angle of thehandlebar, adjust the stem.There are two types of stems:- Traditional stem: has a tube that is attached insidethe fork by means of a cone and a stem tighteningbolt.- Ahead stem: attached to the outside of the headtube.It is also possible to replace the stem and handlebarwith components with different geometries thathelp adapt the bicycle to the cyclist.A seat that is not adjusted horizontally(parallel to the ground) causes the rider to have avery unrelaxed pedaling position. The seat shouldnever be tilted backwards.Moving the seat forward/backwards: To adjust theforward/backward position of the seat, adjust thetightening mechanism located on the top of theseat post. Consult the user’s manual from the seatprovider and follow the instructions to adjust it.12
