WARNING
Ensure that all levers (vertical and horizontal)
are closed, before sitting on the bike and always step off
the bike when making adjustments to the handlebars
and/or saddle.
Adjusting The Handlebar Positioning
Begin with the top of the handlebars at approximately the same height as the saddle (dotted horizontal line A as in the drawing below)
for inexperienced users set to the “0” marking (see dotted vertical line B as 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.
The next step is to adjust the horizontal position of the handlebars as precisely as possible in relation to your height. An ideal and
protective seating position for inexperienced riders is achieved if your back assumes an inclination of an angle of 45°. 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.
