PROPER SEAT ADJUSTMENT POSITION
Lift your foot and rotate the pedal counter-clockwise to the extended position. Sitting with your back against the seat and
your leg fully extended, your heel should rest squarely on the pedal. If your knee is bent, move the seat as required to bring
your heel to the pedal with your leg held straight.

IF YOU LET UP ON THE BRAKE, THE BIKE MAY ROLL

To find the right seat position, mount the bike. Hold a brake lever as you mount. On long-wheelbase models, just step over
the frame and seat yourself. On short-wheelbase models (and the Screamer captainʼs position), take hold of the seat back
with one hand, hold the handlebar grip with the other, fold the riser forward, step over the frame and seat yourself.
FINDING THE CORRECT
SEAT POSITION
RANS bikes are designed to fit all sizes of riders, and to accommodate them with a range of comfort options. Finding your
best riding position is easier when you begin with a good fundamental riding posture. Hereʼs how to begin:
MAKING
IT FIT
The Rad-Loc seat clamp system will release completely with a simple deployment of the clamp bail handle. For larger
adjustments, pull the pins from the sprint brace tubes to allow the seat to move more freely. When the seat is positioned
as desired, just re-clamp the Rad-Loc bail handle. If the sprint brace tube pins have been removed, replace them before
mounting the bike.
Now, with the brakes still applied and sitting back in the seat, place the ball of your foot on the pedal, extend your leg fully
and apply pressure. In this position, which represents the bottom power of your stroke, your knee should be slightly bent.
The RANS Seat also can be reclined. At first you may prefer your seat upright. After gaining riding experience, you may want
to try a more reclined position. Minor adjustments are made by pulling the pins from the sprint brace tubes and tilting the seat
to the position you want. For larger adjustments, loosen the seat clamp. After the seat is adjusted to your liking, replace the
pins in the sprint brace tubes. If the quick-release beneath the seat has been loosened, re-secure this.
Additional information on care and adjustment of the Rad-Loc clamping system is provided on a separate insert in this manual.
