How To Calculate Bike Size?
To calculate your bike size, measure your inseam (in cm or inches) and apply a multiplier based on bike type: approximately 0.66-0.70 for road/gravel bikes, 0.66 for mountain bikes (or subtract 10-12cm from road size), and 0.61-0.685 for city/hybrid bikes.
Rider height is also a common factor in size charts provided by manufacturers. These calculations offer an estimate so always consult manufacturer-specific guides, as frame geometry can vary.
How To Measure Inseam?
