“Even with the handlebars as high as they can go they are too low for my wife who likes to lean back and sit up straight, like on a classic city-bike. Are you aware of attachments/hoods one can buy to get a higher hand position?”

Are u sure u have them all the way up? It may seem like they are but can't be all the way up and still too low. They go pretty high I'm almost 6 foot and I ride a slammed roadbike and I have my S22i in the middle and it's perfect

Ideally, the handlebar height should be aligned with the position of your bike seat, placing you in a slightly forward-leaning position. Handlebars positioned too high can cause muscle strain while handlebars that are too low may lead to lower back issues and fatigue. For correct alignment, place your seat at hip joint height while standing next to your bike with your knee raised to a 90-degree angle and your thigh parallel to the floor.

All these positions should be possible on this studio cycle without any additional attachments. If you have further questions, email us at [email protected]. Thanks - NordicTrack
