Handlebar Positioning
- Set the top of the handlebars to approximately the same height as the seat. For inexperienced users set to the 0 marking.
- If your knees touch the handlebars or if you experience back discomfort when pedaling in the standing riding position for extended periods, the handlebars should be adjusted slightly higher.
- Adjust the horizontal position of
the handlebars as precisely as possible to your height. An ideal and
comfortable seating position for inexperienced riders is achieved if
your back assumes an inclination angle of 45° in reference to the
horizontal line.The handlebars offer a wide variety of hand positions and adjustment possibilities, which provide the experienced rider with every possibility to find their ideal seating and hand positioning.
It is
recommended to change hand positions frequently during extended workouts to
minimize one-sided and monotonous exertions on your muscles, ligaments and
joints.
Warning: Do not adjust the seat or handlebar
during use of the indoor cycle. Ensure that the flip levers used
for the height adjustment of the handlebar and seat are closed and the thumb lever
for
horizontal adjustment of the seat are closed before you sit on the bike. Always step
off the
bike when adjusting the handlebars and / or seat.
