Handlebar adjustment:
Begin with the top of the handlebar at relatively the same height as, or just slightly higher than,
the top of the saddle (dotted horizontal line A in the drawing below) and at a neutral
fore/aft position (see dotted vertical line B in drawing below). If your knees touch the
handlebars, or if you experience back discomfort while pedaling for extended periods of
time, the height of the handlebars can be adjusted. First, dismount the Matrix IC3 Indoor
Cycle.
Next, turn the front adjustment knob counterclockwise, slide the handlebar post up or
down, and retighten the adjustment knob.

Next, the horizontal position of the handlebar should be adjusted. If the handlebar is
too close to the saddle, your breathing may feel restricted. If the handlebar is too far
from the saddle, you may experience back discomfort. To adjust the horizontal position
of the handlebar, first dismount the Matrix IC3 Indoor Cycle. Check for proper handlebar po-
sition by positioning your elbow so that it touches the front tip of the saddle at a 90- degree
angle and checking that the fingertip of your middle finger is touching the handlebar at the
mid-point. If it is not as described, loosen the fore/aft lever handle and slide the handlebar
forward or backward until your middle finger is touching the handlebar at the mid-point.
Retighten the lever handle.
The handlebar offers a wide variety of hand positions for personal preferences. Changing
your hand position can change the angle of your back, neck, and arms. To minimize the
stress on your muscles during your workouts, change your hand position frequently.
