Adjustment
When you take a moment to adjust your indoor cycle correctly to your body, you increase the comfort and
the safety of your training. The indoor cycle oers diverse adjusting possibilities for saddle and handlebar.
Use these adjusting possibilities for an optimal sitting comfort and a maximum training eciency. A wrong
position while training can cause avoidable pain and might increase the risk of injury.
Adjusting the handlebar position
Handlebar height
• The handlebar height can be individually adjusted.
• Start with the adjusting of the connecting rod (handlebar) to the seat height. A higher adjustment of the
connecting rod (handlebar) provides a more upright sitting; a lower adjustment of the connecting rod
(handlebar) provides a posture bend forward.
• Pull the adjusting lever up to adjust the height of the handlebar and push the bar upwards or downwards
as required. Push the adjusting lever down to the locked position to safe the connecting rod (handlebar)
again.
• Do not exceed the adjustments beyond the stop markings.
Horizontal adjustment
• Release the upper adjusting lever on the connecting rod (handlebar) and push the handlebar forward or
backwards as required.
• The horizontal adjustment should be done so that you can comfortably hold the handlebar with a slight
bending of the elbow.
• Do not exceed the adjustments beyond the stop markings.
Hand position
• In order to prevent one-sided stress of muscles, ligaments, and joints, the hand position should be
changed throughout longer training sessions. The handlebar oers dierent possibilities to hold.
Adjusting the saddle position
Saddle height
• Stand beside the saddle post and adjust the saddle to hip height.
• Rotate the pedal crank so that the pedals are in the vertical position.
• Place a foot on the lower pedal and get on the indoor cycle. Your knee should be slightly bent.
• When your leg is stretched too much or the foot does not touch the pedal, the saddle needs to be lowered.
When your leg is bent too much, the saddle needs to be adjusted at a higher position.
• Get o the indoor cycle in order to adjust the height and release the adjusting lever of the saddle post.
Push then the saddle post up or down as required.
• When the saddle is in the desired position, lock the adjusting lever back to the locked position in order to
safe the saddle post.
• Do not exceed the adjustments beyond the stop markings.
