Correct fit is an essential element of cycling
safety, performance, and comfort. To make the
adjustments to your bicycle, which result in
correct fit for your body and riding conditions,
requires experience, skill, and special tools.
Always have your Authorised Nukeproof
Dealer make the adjustments on your bicycle;
or, if you have the experience, skill, and tools,
have your Authorised Nukeproof Dealer check
your work before riding. The fit suggestions
below are based solely on safety concerns.
They specify the absolute minimum standards
to ride the bike, but by no means do they
guarantee optimal performance. Much more
elaborate fit requirements are necessary to
ensure optimal performance. For the additional
performance fitting requirements, please
consult with your Authorised Nukeproof Dealer.
WARNING: If your bicycle does not
fit properly, you may lose control and
fall. If your new bike doesn’t fit, ask
your Authorised Nukeproof Dealer to
exchange it before you ride it.

Standover height is the basic element of bike
fit. It is the distance from the ground to the top
of the bicycle’s frame at that point where your
crotch is when straddling the bike. To check
for correct standover height, straddle the
bike while wearing the kind of shoes in which
you’ll be riding, and bounce vigorously on
your heels. If your crotch touches the frame,
the bike is too big for you. Don’t even ride
the bike around the block. A bike which you
ride only on paved surfaces and never take
offroad should give you a minimum standover
height clearance of two inches (5cm). A bike
that you’ll ride on unpaved surfaces should
give you a minimum of three inches (7.5cm)
of standover height clearance. And a bike that
you’ll use off road should give you four inches
(10cm) or more of clearance.
WARNING: If you plan to use your
bike for jumping or competition, read
Section 2.E. again.

Correct saddle adjustment is an important
factor in getting the most performance and
comfort from your bicycle. If the saddle
position is not comfortable for you, see your
Authorised Nukeproof Dealer.
The saddle can be adjusted in three directions:
3.B.1. Up and down adjustment
To check for correct saddle height:
• Sit on the saddle.
• Place one heel on a pedal.
• Rotate the crank until the pedal with
your heel on it is in the down position
and the crank arm is parallel to the
seattube.
If your leg is not completely straight, your
saddle height needs to be adjusted. If your
hips must rock for the heel to reach the pedal,
the saddle is too high. If your leg is bent at
the knee with your heel on the pedal, the
saddle is too low. Once the saddle is at the
correct height, make sure that the seatpost
does not project from the frame beyond its
“Minimum Insertion” mark, which means that
the minimum insertion mark should never be
visible above the frame once adjusted to your
correct position. If the “Minimum Insertion”
mark is visible once your saddle is properly
adjusted, contact your Authorised Nukeproof
Dealer to have the seatpost replaced with a
