ADULT SIZING

Which Bike is right for you?

When purchasing a bicycle, sizing it correctly decrease the likelihood of an accident and improves a rider's overall comfort. However, sizing a bicycle for an adult requires different measurements than those required for a child. These tips will ensure individuals purchasing bicycles size themselves properly.
Before you begin your search, make sure you consider the following:
  • Wear the same shoes you would wear for biking, so you real height is represented.
  • Define how the bike will be used (on neighbor streets, trails or inclines).
  • Have a friend or family member come along to observe how the bikes fit each individual.
Please use the following guide to your right to help select the correct size bicycle for you.

Bike Sizing

1. Stand flat footed on the floor.
2. Straddle the bicycle.
3. You should have a minimum of 1- clearance between your inseam(A) and the top tube (B) of the frame

YOUTH SIZING

Kids use a different scale to size a bicycle, which takes growth into consideration. Since children change so quickly, bikes are designed to accommodate this seemingly overnight change. The rims of the bike tires serve as a good measurement of size.
