Hey guys today we’re going to talk about the ideal setup for your VSEAT®. Let’s begin with step number one. When you first get your VSEAT® ideally you want your VSEAT® to be at the same height or lower than your handlebars. I think we’re pretty good here. Okay, your next step after you get the VSEAT®, you want to make sure that when you sit on it, you can sit all the way up and it’s holding you. That you’re actually being supported. If you feel like you’re falling too far forward on the VSEAT®, you have it tilted too far forward.

Ani go ahead and please stand up. So, as you can see, this is basically level with the ground. But let’s just be sure it’s level. Okay, we’re looking pretty good now. On a spinning bike it’s ideal to have it level, on an outdoor bike you may want it tilted a little bit more forward. Go ahead and sit back down on your seat. Ani do you feel like the seat is hitting the back of your thighs at all? Maybe a little bit. If you feel like it’s hitting the back of your thighs, you can tilt the seat slightly forward but don’t overdo it. A little bit goes a long way

Now let’s just experiment right here. We’re going to lower her handlebars down. Do you notice any kind of difference when we lower these? Yes, if it does hit me behind the leg where the hamstrings are. So if you’re finding you’re getting that on your bike, especially a road bike, we will personally send you a handlebar riser to raise your handlebars up a little bit, which really makes a big difference in your ride. Go ahead and lean forward. This is way better. Perfect.

Ideal for a road bike is a handlebar riser. Not only because it’s more comfortable with the VSEAT®, but it’s actually a lot better on your neck and your spine. So there’s an added bonus with it as well. Those are the things you want to keep in mind for a proper setup for your VSEAT®.
