Bicycle Geometry 101: Fit Geometry

The geometry of a bicycle is a combination of key measurements that describe the general shape and size of a bicycle. Though there are some measures that are more or less useful depending on the type of bicycle, there is generally a consistent set of measurements that can be found in the Bicycle geometry chart of most bicycle manufacturers and are often referred to when discussing both the fit and handling of bicycles. As each measurement has a different impact for the rider, we’ve separated the key measurements into two main categories: Bike Fit Geometry Bike Handling Geometry   Bike Fit Geometry These aspects of a bicycle primarily impact how the bicycle will fit the rider and are the main contributors to determine the right bike size for a rider.   Bike Handling Geometry These aspects of a bicycle primarily […]

Bicycle Geometry 101: Handling Geometry

The geometry of a bicycle is a combination of key measurements that describe the general shape and size of a bicycle. Though there are some measures that are more or less useful depending on the type of bicycle, there is a generally consistent set of measurements that can be found in the geometry chart of most bicycle manufacturers and are often referred to when discussing both the fit and handling of bicycles.  As each measurement has a different impact for the rider, we’ve separated the key measurements into two main categories Handling Geometry Fit Geometry   Bike Handling Geometry These aspects of a bicycle primarily impact how a bike will handle (e.g. steering, stability, etc.).   Bike Fit Geometry These aspects of a bicycle primarily impact how the bicycle will fit the rider and are the main contributors to determine […]
