Setting up the seating position
Before you use your bicycle for the rst time, the
seating position has to be set up to suit your body
size. This is vital for riding safely and securely.
To do this, the seat’s height, alignment and angle
have to be set up, as do the height and alignment
of the handlebars with the stem.

Setting up the angle of the seat
When you have set the height of the seat, you
have to check that the angle of the seat is suit-
able. In general, the upper surface of the seat
should be horizontal. You can adjust this by loos-
ening the clamping bolts in the seat post.

Before you start riding, please test
to see if your seat post and seat are
secure. To do this, grab the seat at
the front and back and attempt to turn it. It
should not move.
If your mountain bike is equipped with a telescop-
ic seat post, please ensure you read the instruc-
tions provided by the manufacturer before use.

Please ensure that you read the part

when setting up and operating sus-
pension seat posts or telescopic seat posts.
When adjusting the height of the
seat, never pull the seat post further
out than the maximum extension
length marked! If your tube does not have a
maximum marking, then you must leave a
minimum insertion length of 7.5 cm.
