BEFORE YOU RIDE
RIDING POSITION
Saddle Height
In order to obtain the most comfortable riding position and offer the best
possible pedaling efficiency, the seat height should be set correctly in
relation to the rider’s leg length. The correct saddle height should not allow
leg strain from over extension, and the hips should not rock from side
to side while pedaling. While sitting on the bicycle with one pedal at its
lowest point, place the ball of your foot on that pedal. The correct saddle
height will allow the knee to be slightly bent in this position. If the rider then
places the heel of that foot on the pedal, the leg should be almost straight.
Ensure that the seat pillar does not extend beyond the
minimum insertion mark.
(Refer to p.72 on how to adjust seat height.)
Reach
To obtain maximum comfort, the rider should not overextend his or her
reach when riding.
To adjust this distance, the position of the seat can be altered in relation to
the seat pillar. (Refer to p.72 on how to adjust the seat clamp.)
