How to choose a bike by size

When choosing a bicycle, it is important to focus on its size. A wrongly chosen bike size could cause user discomfort. So how to ride a bike comfortably? Read our article

The height of the bike can be adjusted by pulling up the seat post. Therefore, the important indicator when choosing is not the size of the seat post, but the effective length of the frame. Here we choose mainly according to the height of the person who will be riding the bike. However, height is not the only factor we should look at when choosing. Of course, body proportions are also important. People have different lengths of limbs and torso, so different frame sizes may suit people of the same height.

 

How is the size of a frame specified
The seat tube length is most often stated in inches. In some cases, you may come across the size stated in centimeters, or the expression of size using the letters S, M, L, XL, as is the case with clothing. It is using the letters in combination with the length of the seat tube in inches that indicates the sizes of Amuletbikes.

 

Each type of bike is suitable to buy in a different size
There are charts to help you choose your bike size. Mountain bikes that are used in difficult terrain are usually chosen smaller. The frame is more rigid and the bike is therefore easier for the user to control in the terrain. Smaller BMX bikes are also always chosen in the same way. Cross bikes, on the other hand, tend to have a frame about an inch longer for the same body height.

For that reason, you will find an individual table for each of our bikes that is suitable for the given type of bike - children's bikes, mountain bikes, electric bikes. Thanks to it, you can roughly choose what size of a frame will probably be suitable according to your height. However, keep in mind that all tables are only an initial aid when choosing a size. The final choice is a very individual matter for each person, so it is ideal to try a particular bike on your own before buying.

For that reason, it is advisable to choose a bike on the website and take it for a test ride in person at one of our authorized stores. You can find them all over the Czech Republic.
