Saddle height refers to the vertical distance from the top of a bicycle saddle to the ground. It is an important measurement for cyclists, as the correct saddle height can enhance comfort, efficiency, and overall performance while riding. A properly adjusted saddle height allows for optimal leg extension during pedaling, reducing the risk of injury and fatigue. To determine the ideal saddle height, cyclists often use a simple method involving leg length. When seated on the saddle, the rider's leg should have a slight bend at the knee when the pedal is at its lowest point. This ensures that the rider can pedal effectively without straining their legs or back.
