How to adjust your bike position: complete guide

Why is bike position so important?

A poor bike position can lead to chronic pain, premature fatigue and injuries. An optimized position allows you to pedal longer, develop more power, and enjoy your rides.

The 4 key angles to measure

1. Knee extension (140-150°)

The knee angle at the bottom of the pedal stroke is crucial for preventing injuries.

2. Hip angle (55-70°)

Hip opening affects your power and breathing capacity.

3. Back inclination (35-50°)

Your back angle determines your position: comfort vs aerodynamics.

4. Arm angle (150-165°)

Slightly bent arms absorb vibrations and reduce strain.
