ADJUST THE SADDLE HEIGHT
WARNING
SERIOUS FALLS DUE TO A KINKED OR BROKEN SEATPOST.
• The seatpost must be at least 100 mm deep in the seat tube. The
minimum insertion depth of 100 mm also applies if the specifications
on the seatpost itself are different.
1. Loosen the quick release or the Allen screw(s) on the seat tube
clamp to move the seatpost.
2. Adjust the seatpost to the desired height. Make sure to observe
the minimum insertion depth of 100 mm. If the seatpost cannot be
pulled out of the seat tube, you need to slide the
frame a little via the headtube.
3. a) Close the quick release by swinging the lever 180°. It should
now read CLOSE. Halfway through the action of closing the lever,
the movement should be very easy. The required leverage should
increase after that point and the lever should be difficult to close
at the end. In the end position, the lever must be perpendicular to
the quick release axis. It must not stick out to the side. The lever
must rest against the frame or fork in such a way that it does not
open unintentionally. Please also note the description in the general
operating instructions. Do not leave lever protruding to the side.
The lever must rest against the frame or fork in such a way that it

3. b) Tighten the Allen screw(s) on the seat tube clamp with the torque
specified on the component. If no torque is specified, tighten the
screws to 6 Nm.
4. Check the tightness of the saddle and seatpost by attempting to
twist them.
