4.2 Adjusting the Saddle Position
a) To ensure comfort and safe handling, adjust the saddle to suit your body size. The
saddle height is correct if when seated your leg is not quite fully extended at the
bottom of the pedal stroke. You should also be able to touch the ground with your
toe when seated.
b) The saddle can be also be inclined and adjusted forwards and rearwards for best
fit. Loosen the screw (1) tilt the saddle to the desired horizontal position and/or
move forwards or rearwards and tighten screw (1). To avoid discomfort, the saddle
should be set as horizontal as possible.
c) To adjust saddle height. Release the quick-release lever (1), determine your preferred saddle height and tighten the quick-release lever. By adjusting the nut (2) on the quick-
release lever you can adjust the clamping force required. The quick-release lever (1) must close with noticeable back pressure. The seat post must always be inserted to at
least the safety mark engraved on the seat post. WARNING: If the quick release lever is not properly closed it may open during riding. This can allow the saddle to move
downwards which could lead to accident and injury. Closing of the quick release lever should also be firm enough to stop the saddle from being able to be twisted. Only
then is the tension sufficient.
