Next the horizontal position of the handlebar should be adjusted. If the handlebar is too clo-
se to the saddle, your breathing may feel restricted; if the handlebar is too far from the saddle
you may experience back discomfort. To adjust the horizontal position of the handlebar, first
dismount the Vision V-Series indoor cycle. Check for proper handlebar position by placing
your elbow so it’s touching the front tip of the saddle at a 90 degree angle and checking that
the fingertip of your middle finger is touching the handlebar at the mid-point, and then tighten
the lever handle.
The handlebar offers a variety of hand positions for personal preferences. Changing your
hand position can change the angle of your back, neck and arms. To minimize the stress on
your muscles during your workouts, change your hand position frequently.

Handlebar adjustment:
Begin with the top of the handlebar at relatively the same height or just slightly higher than
the top of the saddle
(dotted horizontal line A in the drawing below)
and at a neutral fore/
aft position
(see dotted vertical line B in drawing below)
. If your knees touch the hand-
lebars or if you experience back discomfort while pedaling for extended periods of time, the
height of the handlebars can be adjusted. First, dismount the Vision V-Series indoor cycle;
next, turn the front adjustment knob counter clockwise, slide the handlebar post up or down,
and then retighten the adjustment knob.
