How High Should Your Mountain Bike Seat Be? Tips for Proper Bike Fit
The height of a mountain bike seat should be adjusted based on several factors such as the rider’s height, comfort, and riding style. A general rule of thumb is that when the pedal is at the lowest point, the rider’s leg should be almost fully extended without locking the knee. This will provide maximum power and efficiency while pedaling, reducing the risk of injury and fatigue. The rider may need to experiment with the height to find the perfect balance between power and comfort.
