B. sADDle position
Correct saddle adjustment is an important factor in getting the most performance and comfort from your bicycle. If the
saddle position is not comfortable for you, see your dealer.
The saddle can be adjusted in three directions:
1. Up and down adjustment. To check for correct saddle height (fig. 3):
• sitonthesaddle;
• placeoneheelonapedal;
• rotatethecrankuntilthepedalwithyourheelonitisinthedown
position and the crank arm is parallel to the seat tube.
If your leg is not completely straight, your saddle height needs to be
adjusted.
If your hips must rock for the heel to reach the pedal, the saddle is too
high. If your leg is bent at the knee with your heel on the pedal, the saddle is too low.
Ask your dealer to set the saddle for your optimal riding position and to show you how to make this
adjustment. If you choose to make your own saddle height adjustment:
• loosentheseatpostclamp
• raiseorlowertheseatpostintheseattube
• makesurethesaddleisstraightforeandaft
• re-tightentheseatpostclamptotherecommendedtorque(followthemanufacturer’sinstructions).
Once the saddle is at the correct height, make sure that the seat post does not project
from the frame beyond its “Minimum Insertion” or “Maximum Extension” mark (fig. 4).
WARNING: If your seat post is not inserted in the seat tube as described in B.1 above, the seat post, binder
or even frame may break, which could cause you to lose control and fall.
2. Front and back adjustment. The saddle can be adjusted forward or back to help you get the optimal position
on the bike. Ask your dealer to set the saddle for your optimal riding position and to show you how to make
this adjustment. If you choose to make your own front and back adjustment. Torque on the clamping
fastener(s) (follow the manufacturer’s instructions).
3. Saddle angle adjustment. Most people prefer a horizontal saddle; but some riders like the saddle nose
angled up or down just a little. Your dealer can adjust saddle angle or teach you how to do it.
