Size Information
One Size, Many Riders
HSD Gen 3 — fits 4′11″ to 6′9″
The new HSD Gen 3 fits an even wider range of riders than before: from about 4′11″ to 6′9″ (150–205 cm). The tool-free Comfort Cockpit adjusts in seconds — saddle height, bar height, and reach — so the same bike genuinely works for everyone in the household. The low Easy-Step frame makes mounting easy for smaller riders, and the frame is independently tested to its full 419 lb capacity at every size.
HSD Gen 2 — fits 4′11″ to 6′5″
The Gen 2 HSD fits riders from about 4′11″ to 6′5″. Its adjustable stem lets you change your position in seconds — no tools required — making it easy to share between family members. With the Easy-Step frame, smaller riders can hop on and off with confidence, no gymnastics required.
