SMART SIZING TO FIT THE WIDEST RANGE OF MEN AND WOMEN

TRIATHLON GEOMETRY FIT AND PHILOSOPHY
Stack and reach are important measurements because they define the spatial relationships of two important contact points between your body and the bike – pedals and handlebars. Stack is the vertical distance from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the headtube. Reach is the horizontal distance from the center of the bottom bracket to that same point - the top center of the headtube. An understanding of stack and reach can explain why many small bikes don’t fit well. There are instances in the market when the smallest sizes do not offer shorter reach measurements and do not bring the head tube (therefore the handlebars) any closer to the rider than the next bigger size. How does the manufacturer advertise a full size range then, based on top tube lengths? What we’re suggesting is an evolution in bike geometry. It’s a different way to look at how to design and build bike frames that allows the Ordu OME to fit a wider range of riders and follow a more linear size progression. The new size range includes XS, SM, MD, and LG sizes and ensures that anyone can ride an Ordu OME, no matter how large or small. The progressive sizing ensures that our XS bike indeed offers the smallest fit and that subsequent sizes grow in a linear and predictable fashion.
