important safety information

1. It is extremely important that your RockShox suspension fork (fork) is installed correctly by a
qualified bicycle mechanic. improperly installed forks are extremely dangerous and can
result in severe and/or fatal injuries.
2. The fork on your bicycle is designed for use by a single rider, on mountain trails, and similar
off-road conditions.
3. Before riding your bicycle, be sure the brakes are properly installed and adjusted. Use your
brakes carefully and learn your brakes' characteristics by practicing your braking technique
in non-emergency circumstances. Hard braking or improper use of the front brake can cause
you to fall. If the brakes are out of adjustment, improperly installed or are not used properly,
the rider could suffer serious and/or fatal injuries.
4. Your fork may fail in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, any condition that
causes a loss of oil; collision or other activity bending or breaking the fork's components or
parts; and extended periods of non-use. Fork failure may not be visible. Do not ride your
bicycle if you notice bent or broken fork parts, loss of oil, sounds of excessive topping out,
or other indications of a possible fork failure, such as loss of shock absorbing properties.
Instead, take your bike to a qualified dealer for inspection and repair. In the event of a fork
failure, damage to the bicycle or personal injury may result.
5. Always use genuine RockShox parts. Use of aftermarket replacement parts voids the
warranty and could cause structural failure to the fork. Structural failure could result in loss of
control of the bicycle with possible serious and/or fatal injuries.
6. Use extreme caution not to tilt the bicycle to either side when mounting the bicycle to a
carrier by the fork drop-outs (front wheel removed). The fork legs may suffer structural
damage if the bicycle is tilted while the drop-outs are in the carrier. Make sure the fork is
securely fastened according to the bike carrier's instructions. Make sure the rear wheel is
fastened down when using ANY bike carrier that secures the fork's drop-outs. Not securing
the rear can allow the bike's mass to side-load the drop-outs, causing them to break or crack.
If the bicycle tilts or falls out of its carrier, do not ride the bicycle until the fork is properly
examined for possible damage. Return the fork to your dealer for inspection or call RockShox
if there is any question of possible damage. The International Distributor List is available
on-line at www.sram.com. A fork leg or drop-out failure could result in loss of control of the
bicycle with possible serious and/or fatal injuries.
7. forks designed for use with rim type brakes: mount rim type brakes (cantilever, linear-
pull, and rim hydraulic) to the existing brake posts only. Forks with hangerless style braces
are only designed for linear-pull or hydraulic rim type brakes. Do not use any cantilever brake
other than those intended by the brake manufacturer to work with a hangerless brace. Do
not route the front brake cable and/or cable housing through the stem or any other mounts
or cable stops. Do not use a front brake cable leverage device mounted to the brace. forks
designed for use with disc-style brakes: follow the brake manufacturer's installation
instructions for proper installation and mounting of the brake caliper. For forks using a post
style disc brake mount, ensure that your brake caliper mounting bolts have 9-12 mm of
thread engagement and are torqued to 90 in-lb when installed on the fork. Failure to have
proper thread engagement can damage the brake mounting posts, which can result in severe
injury and/or death.
8. Your RockShox fork is designed to secure a front wheel using a quick release axle or thru
axle. Be sure you understand which axle your bike has and how to properly operate it. Do not
use a bolt on axle. An improperly installed wheel can allow the wheel to move or disengage
from the bicycle, causing damage to the bicycle and serious injury and/or death to the rider.
9. Observe all owner's manual instructions for care and service of this product.
ROCkSHOx FORkS DO NOT COME WITH THE REFLECTORS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW FOR
NEW BICYCLES, 16 CFR §1512.16. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR REFLECTORS AND LIGHTING
MAY ExIST AND VARY BY LOCATION. YOUR DEALER SHOULD INSTALL PROPER REFLECTORS AND
LIGHTING SYSTEMS TO MEET ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS.
ALWAYS USE FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS IN ADDITION TO REFLECTORS IF RIDING AT NIGHT OR IN
REDUCED VISIBILITY.
