Begin by setting the seat with the front tilted down slightly. This adjustment is
made using the QR on the underside of the seat. Step over the bike, hold the bars
and check for proper leg extension. Proper seat height occurs when the leg is
straight when the heel of your foot (with the intended riding shoes) is on the pedal.
Place the toe on the pedal and there should be slight bend at the knee.
Seat tilt will affect seat height. The more nose down tilt rotates the body slightly
down and forward requiring a slight raise to seat height. Less tilt raises and
pushes back the body; meaning seat height may need to be reduced.
These settings are not critical, riding a bit and experimenting with tilt and
height is recommended. The increase in comfort
will be noticed once you have
achieved the right setting. Note: seat tilt is usually at the right angle when it feels
like you are almost sliding out of the seat. A foot on the pedal will secure you
in the seat. This effect will be a little less on the Cruz and Fusion due the more
laid back seat angle. Too little tilt may result in the front edge of the seat
applying
pressure against the thighs and chafing, and less circulation can result. Tilt the
seat until no pressure is felt.
We also provided numbers etched on the seat post that correspond with
your pant inseam. This usually places the seat very close to the correct
height. Use this gauge as a starting point ride to fine tune. Also knowing
your “seat setting number” allows you to check for slippage and if
removing the seat, restore it to your setting. The inseam scale will vary depend-
ing on size. Refer to the diagram for adjustment in scale readings.
Adjusting seat tilt is as easy as flipping the
Quick Release to position and lock.
Use the “inseam” scale to position seat at
correct height. Your pant inseam corresponds
to this number etched on seat post.
