| Race - Performance bikes
The angle of the upper body will typically be between 0 and 30 degrees - the real mean racing position. This flat riding position provides you with that low aerodynamic riding position for real power and speed. |
Tour - Hybrid bikes
The upper body angle of 15 to 60 degrees is a similar position to the one used for Street and Leisure bikes but with that little bit of extra in-built comfort and ease of use to make it more suitable for all round use. |
Street - City bikes
The 60 - 90 degree seated position will ensure comfort and ease of use if you need to sit in the saddle for any length of time. In the long run, comfort is more important than the deceptive lines of a pseudo racer. |
