Operation Manual

4.3 Brakes

4.3.1 Brake assignment

• Your bike has one or two brakes which are independent of one another.

• On some models the rear brake is operated by “pedalling backwards” (backpedal brake).

• In the standard case the brake lever attached to the left handlebar operates the front brake and the right-

hand brake lever the back brake. This may vary, however, depending on requirements and the local legal

regulations. You should always familiarise yourself with which lever applies to which brake and get used to

using them.

• If your bike has two hand brake levers of the same type, you can have them changed over by your special-

ist dealer if you wish.
