The right frame size varies depending on the bike and the individual person.

Determining the right frame size is very important when buying a new bike, as you want it to feel perfect and comfortable while riding. However, the right frame size depends on the specific bike, your desired riding position and the position of the handlebars and saddle. In addition, your height and proportions play a role. Because no two bikes are the same, the ideal frame size can vary from model to model. It is therefore advisable never to buy a bike without first checking the correct frame size.

The frame size required for the bike you are considering may vary depending on the model. Our bike frames vary by series, so it is crucial to verify for each specific bike which size is best for you.

On this website, we offer advice in four easy steps to help you determine which frame size is best for you. This advice is calculated based on your height, leg length, arm length and your riding position in relation to the geometry of the bike. It also takes into account important elements such as the handlebars and saddle. The advantage of this frame size recommendation is that the program is familiar with the geometry of the specific model you are interested in and is developed based on extensive calculations.
