SADDLE
The shape of the saddle should be suitable for the intended use and match the physical
characteristics and personal preferences of the rider.
If the saddle is set to the perfect position, riders will be able to easily reach all operating
elements on the handlebar in a comfortable sitting position as well as touch the ground with
their feet to support themselves.

depth of the seat post should no longer be visible but rather should be inside the seat
tube.

Depending on the bike model, there is an additional specification for the minimum
extended height on the seat post.
The corresponding value indicates the minimum height that the seat post must extend
out of the seat tube.
