Bike fit basics

Comfort starts with fit.

4 min read

A bike that fits is more comfortable, more efficient and easier to control.

Quick checks

  • Stand over the top tube with a little clearance
  • Set saddle height so your leg is almost straight at the bottom of the pedal stroke
  • Keep the saddle roughly level
  • You should reach the handlebars with a slight bend in your elbows
  • Many shops offer basic fitting
