The formula to calculate the handlebar reach is:
\[ HR = S + (0.4 \cdot A) - (0.267 \cdot H) \]
Where:
Handlebar reach is a measurement in bicycle geometry that refers to the distance from the center of the bottom bracket (the axle that holds the pedal cranks in place) to the center of the handlebars. This measurement is important for determining the rider’s comfort and control over the bike. A longer reach can provide more stability at high speeds, while a shorter reach can offer better control and maneuverability, especially at slower speeds.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ HR = 10 + (0.4 \cdot 60) - (0.267 \cdot 170) = 10 + 24 - 45.39 = -11.39 \text{ cm} \]
The Handlebar Reach (HR) is -11.39 cm.
