Straps
The indoor cycle can be adjusted for maximum comfort and exercise effectiveness. The
instructions below describe one approach to adjusting the indoor cycle; you may choose to adjust
the indoor cycle differently.
PEDAL STRAP ADJUSTMENT
Sit on the saddle and position your feet on the pedals, with the balls of your feet directly above
the spindles of the pedals (see the drawing below). Adjust the pedal straps so the toe clips
(cages) are snug but not too tight. Note: In the case of a Bike being fitted with Combi-pedals
(optional on the S series and Standard on the X Series), the pedals feature toe clips on one
surface and SPD cleats on the opposite surface. If desired, use the SPD cleats with cycling shoes
instead of the toe clips.
SADDLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Sit on the saddle and slowly pedal until the right pedal is in the lowest position. Your knees
should be slightly bent without a dropping of the hips. To avoid hyper extending your knees,
make sure that your legs are not completely straight.

SADDLE HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT
Proper horizontal adjustment of the saddle is very important in avoiding injury to the knees. Sit
on the saddle and move the pedals until the crank arms are in horizontal position.
Using your forward most leg as a marker, your kneecap should be directly above the center of
the pedal so that a straight line is created between knee and center of the pedal (see the dotted
line in image below). To adjust the horizontal position of the saddle, first dismount the indoor
cycle. Next, loosen the rear adjustment knob, slide the saddle forward or backward as required,
and then retighten the knob.
