STEP ONE

Measure Your Inseam

Stand barefoot with your back against a wall and measure from your crotch straight down to the floor. This measurement is your inseam.

STEP TWO

Measure Your Height

Stand straight against a wall, feet together, barefoot. Mark the top of your head and measure to the floor.

WHY YOUR INSEAM MATTERS

Your inseam, the distance from your crotch to the floor, is one of the most important measurements when choosing a bike. It directly affects:

• Leg extension at the pedals

Too low and you’ll pedal inefficiently; too high and you might strain your knees.

• Standover clearance

Making sure you can stand over the bike without hitting the top tube.

• Comfort and control

A properly sized bike keeps you balanced and confident on every ride.

GENERAL SIZING GUIDE

Bicycles are generally labeled by tire size, and each size corresponds to a general range of rider inseams and heights. These ranges aren’t universal, but they provide a helpful starting point for finding the right fit before checking the specific measurements on each bike’s product page.

SIZING FOR KIDS & TEENS

Kids bike sizing can be especially tricky, since children grow at different rates and vary widely in proportions. This makes measuring inseam even more important to ensure a comfortable and safe ride.

RIDER INSEAM RANGE	RIDER HEIGHT RANGE	AGE RANGE	RECOMMENDED TIRE SIZE
15" - 18"	2'4" - 3'5"	2 - 4 Years	12"
15" - 20"	2'6" - 3'6"	3 - 5 Years	14"
16" - 22"	3'2" - 4'0"	4 - 6 Years	16"
18" - 24"	3'6" - 4'4"	5 - 8 Years	18"
19" - 25"	4'5" - 5'0"	7 - 13 Years	20"
23" - 28"	4'6" - 5'6"	8 - 15 Years	24"
25" - 30"	5'3" - 6'0"	13+ Years	26"

SIZING FOR ADULTS

Many adult bikes use universal sizes that work well for the majority of riders. However, some types of bikes, such as mountain bikes, hybrids, and road models, offer specific frame sizes to provide a more precise fit. Choosing the right frame size helps improve comfort, control, and efficiency, making your ride more enjoyable.

Adult bike tire sizes range from 24" to 32", and sizing recommendations are mostly based on frame size for bikes that are not a universal fit.

RIDER INSEAM RANGE	RIDER HEIGHT RANGE	FRAME SIZE
25" - 30"	5'3" - 6'0"	Universal
25" - 29"	4'6" - 5'1"	Extra Small
28" - 31"	5'0" - 5'5"	Small
29" - 32"	5'4" - 5'7"	Medium
32" - 35"	5'9" - 6'2"	Large
34" - 36"	6'1" - 6'5'	Extra Large
36"+	6'3"+	Double XL

ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS:

Can I just go by height when choosing a bike?

Height gives a general starting point, but your inseam measurement is key to proper leg extension and standover clearance. Always consider both for the best fit.

What if I’m between sizes?

If you fall between two sizes, it’s usually best to choose the smaller size for comfort and control, or check if the bike offers adjustable seat and handlebar options. Test rides, if available, can also help.

How do I adjust the seat height properly?

When seated, your leg should have a slight bend at the bottom of the pedal stroke. Adjust the seat height gradually to achieve a balance between comfort and efficient pedaling. In general, the saddle height should be around the same height as the bike stem.

Are kids bike sizes different from adult bikes?

Yes, kids’ bikes are typically sized by wheel diameter (16″, 20″, etc.) rather than frame size (with some exeptions). Since children grow at different rates, measuring inseam is especially important to ensure a safe and comfortable fit.

Do all adult bikes fit the same way?

Many of our adult bikes use universal sizes, but some offer different frame sizes. Choosing the right frame size improves comfort, handling, and pedaling efficiency.

Where can I find the recommended sizing for each bike on the website?

Every bike on our website has a detailed product page that lists the recommended inseam, rider height, and maximum weight. Use these measurements along with this guide to choose the bike that fits you best.
