How to Ensure a Proper Mountain Bike Fit for Optimal Performance and Comfort
A mountain bike should fit properly in order to provide comfort, control, and efficiency. The proper fit includes adjusting the saddle height, saddle position, handlebar height, reach, and stem length. The height of the saddle should allow for a slight bend in the knee when the pedal is at the bottom of the stroke, and the saddle should be positioned in a way that allows for proper weight distribution and leg extension. The handlebars should be positioned at a height and distance that allows for a comfortable reach and grip while riding. Overall, a properly fitting mountain bike will enhance the rider’s performance and reduce the risk of injury.
