3'6" – 4'8" | 107 – 132 | 5 – 9 | Hotrock 20 |
3'9" – 4'4" | 114 – 142 | 8 – 12 | Hotrock 24 |
Adjusting saddle height
The correct saddle height is crucial for pedaling efficiency and comfort. When your child first begins to ride, they may be more comfortable with a lower saddle height so they can put a foot down easily. As your child becomes more experienced, aim for only a slight bend in the knee when your child's foot is on the pedal in the 6 o'clock position as shown below.
If you raise the seatpost, ensure that the seatpost is inserted past the minimum insertion line.
