Tips for Proper Bike Fit

Bike fit is unique to each person and requires some trial and error and several rides. After a few rides, if you need help customizing the fit and geometry of your Tacx^® NEO Bike Plus trainer, you can try these tips.

Remember: Remove your tablet before adjusting the handlebar height, reach, or angle.

Adjust your saddle height:
- Measure your road bike, and match it to your trainer.
- If you don't have a road bike, stand next to the bike, and set the saddle height at your hip bone.
Select the appropriate crank length of your trainer:
- Match the crank length of your road bike.
  
  Most manufacturers print the length (mm) on the inside of the crank.
- Use your height or inseam to determine the crank length (Crank Length Options).
- Check the crank settings in the Tacx Training app (Customizing the Trainer Settings from the App).
Adjust the handlebar height, reach, or angle.
Get on the bike, and see how it feels.

TIP: If multiple riders will use the trainer, you should record the height and reach values for each rider.
If you still have questions about your bike fit, consult a professional bike fitter.
