Adjusting the Seat

The comfort and effectiveness of your workout on the xR6 begins with proper seat position. Both the height of the 

seat and the tilt of the seatback on the xR6 seat are adjustable, ensuring that you can find just the right position to 

suit your preference and deliver the best possible workout.

Note:  When adjusting seat height or tilt, make sure you hear and feel the adjustment mechanism lock 

into position.

Adjusting seat height

Adjust seat height on the xR6 Series using the handle located 
just under the front edge of the seat. While bracing yourself 
with your feet on the platform, lift up on the handle and use 
your legs to move the seat into a comfortable height. Place 
your feet on the pedals and pedal forward, stopping when 
one pedal is at its lowest point. Check the position of your 
leg on this pedal; your knee should be slightly bent. If your 
leg is fully extended, or your knee is bent too much, readjust 
the seat height until you have the proper leg extension.

Adjusting seatback tilt

Adjust the tilt  of the seatback on the xR6 Series using the 
handle located just under the left edge of the seat. You may 
choose one of five positions, with position 1 being the most 
upright and position 5 being the most reclined. To adjust, 
lean forward slightly, then pull out on the yellow knob to 
disengage the tilt lock. Press back to recline or shift your 
weight slightly forward to tilt the seatback up. Release the 
knob, then shift your weight slightly until you hear the tilt 
lock pop into position.

Note:  Once you have adjusted the tilt of the seatback to a comfortable position, pedal forward and 

recheck your leg extension. You may need to readjust the seat height to compensate for the 

change in tilt.

Tip:  Be sure to record the position numbers of both the seat height (1-20) and the seatback tilt (1-5)

so that you can quickly set the seat when you are ready to begin your next workout.
