SPECIALIZED BICYCLE OWNER S MANUAL APPENDIX A SUPPLEMENT 2014 APPENDIX A SUPPLEMENT INTRODUCTION This Appendix A manual supplement is designed as an annual addition to the Appendix A section found in the Specialized Bicycle Owner s Manual This appendix is designed to help the rider differentiate between frame structural weight limits and braking distance weight limits Each bike model is designed and tested to support a structural weight limit which includes a cargo weight limit As the weight of the rider approaches the structural weight limit of the bike the allowable cargo weight might be reduced For example a bike may have a 55Ib cargo weight limit but if the weight of the rider is too close to the bike s structural weight limit the rider may only be allowed to carry a smaller amount of cargo or no cargo at all See following page for model specific example and graphs STRUCTURAL WEIGHT LIMIT CARGO WEIGHT O 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 200 225 250 2 5 300 Additionally CEN European Committee for Standardization has braking distance weight limits which require that the combined weight of the rider and cargo can be stopped within a specified distance Exceeding the max weight per CEN braking standards does not mean that the bike will not stop but that it might not stop within the distance specified by CEN The following information contains structural weight limits for frames as well as recommended weight
