4.1 Adjusting your saddle position
Small changes in saddle position can have a substantial
effect on performance and comfort. To find your best
saddle position, make only one adjustment at a time.
Forward and back adjustment:
The saddle can
be adjusted forward or back to help you achieve a
customised fit for your position on the bike. Ask your
dealer to set the saddle for your optimal riding position
and to show you how to make this adjustment. If you
choose to make your own front and back adjustment,
make sure that the clamp mechanism is clamping on
the straight part of the saddle rails and is not touching
the curved part of the rails, and that you are using the
recommended torque on the clamping fastener(s).
Saddle angle adjustment:
This can be adjusted to
suit your comfort. Although standard positioning is
horizontal; some riders like the saddle nose angled
up or down just a little. Your dealer can adjust saddle
angle or teach you how to do it. If you choose to make
your own saddle angle adjustment, make sure that the
clamp mechanism is clamping on the straight part of
the saddle rails and is not touching the curved part
of the rails, and that you are using the recommended
torque on the clamping fastener(s).
4.2 Other modifications for comfort
The angle of the brake and shift control levers and
their position on the handlebars can be changed to
suit. Ask your dealer to make the adjustments for
you. If you choose to make your own control lever
angle adjustment, be sure to re-tighten the clamp
fasteners to the recommended torque as outlined in
the Appendix of this manual.
4.2 Adjusting your front suspension
Your bike comes with front suspension which allows
up to 100mm of travel for your riding comfort.
To “lock out” the suspension, simply turn the
suspension dial located on the right hand side of your
forks (when sitting on the bike).
Please ensure your suspension is locked out when
descending, or in bumpy terrain.
