HOW TO ADJUST THE
HANDLEBAR POSITIONING:
Begin with the top of the handlebars at approximately the same height as the saddle (dotted
horizontal line A in the drawing below) for inexperienced users set to the "0" marking (see
dotted vertical line B in the drawing below). If your knees touch the handlebars or if you
experience back discomfort when pedalling in the standing riding position for extended periods,
the handlebars should first be adjusted slightly higher.
A.
The next step is to adjust the horizontal position of the handlebars as precisely as possible to
your height. An ideal and comfortable seating position for inexperienced riders is achieved if
your back assumes an inclination angle of 45° in reference to the horizontal line (A).
The handlebars offer a wide variety of hand positions and adjustment possibilities, which provide
the experienced rider with every possibility to find his/her ideal seating and hand positioning.
It is recommended to change hand positions frequently during extended workouts in order to
minimise one-sided and monotonous exertions on your muscles, ligaments and joints.
