Tips for Proper Bike Fit
Bike fit is unique to each person and requires some trial and error and several rides. After a few rides, if you
need help customizing the fit and geometry of your Tacx NEO Bike Plus trainer, you can try these tips.
REMEMBER: Remove your tablet before adjusting the handlebar height, reach, or angle.
• Adjust your saddle height:
◦ Measure your road bike, and match it to your trainer.
◦ If you don't have a road bike, stand next to the bike, and set the saddle height at your hip bone.
• Select the appropriate crank length of your trainer:
◦ Match the crank length of your road bike.
Most manufacturers print the length (mm) on the inside of the crank.
◦ Use your height or inseam to determine the crank length
◦ Check the crank settings in the Tacx Training app
page 22).
• Adjust the handlebar height, reach, or angle.
• Get on the bike, and see how it feels.
TIP: If multiple riders will use the trainer, you should record the height and reach values for each rider.
• If you still have questions about your bike fit, consult a professional bike fitter.
