Saddle Height Knee Angle Fit
Saddle height knee angle fit sets vertical saddle position for safe knee flexion at the bottom of the stroke—small millimeter changes matter.
Saddle height knee angle fit sets vertical saddle position so the knee is slightly bent at bottom dead center—often roughly 25–35 degrees of flexion for many road riders, but individual hip mobility varies. Too high rocks hips and strains hamstrings; too low overloads the front of the knee.
Adjust in two to three millimeter steps and test across weeks.
Common questions
-
What happens if the saddle is too high?
Hips rock side to side, hamstrings may cramp, and power leaks—lower in small steps until the pelvis stays stable through the stroke.
