Does the front seat fits your bike?
We don’t want you to struggle with our bicycle seats! We want you to enjoy them. So, we think it should be easy to mount an Urban Iki bicycle seat on your bike. With Urban Iki that is really no more than 5 minutes of work, and all the mounting materials are included. Do you want to make sure the Urban Iki front seat fits your bike? Read more!
Your bike is suitable for the Urban Iki front seat if the stem:
1. Has a diameter between 22 and 28 mm
This is a standard size for stems. A stem size almost never happens to deviates from this. Does the stem of your bike looks like it’s thicker? Then you may have to remove a spacer (black ring) first. Check this video to find out how to do this.
2. Has a minimum of 19 mm available in height
The compact adapter that comes standard with the front seat requires a height of 19 mm to be mounted properly. If there is less space available on your bike, please check if it is possible to remove a spacer. If this doesn’t work, you will need the MTB / ATB adapter as an accessory to mount the front seat. For more information about the MTB/ATB adapter, read further below.
What if?
Your bike has a rack above the front wheel?
The transport rack on the front of your bicycle may be in the way of the front seat’s footrests. Luckily, most transport racks are made so that they can easily be placed forward! Do you need help? At the bike shop in your town, they sure can help you out.
You have an electric bicycle?
That is not a problem at all. The Urban Iki front seat is also suitable for e-bikes.
Can I mount my front seat on a mountain bike?
Yes, you can! You need the MTB/ATB adapter to do that. The MTB/ATB adapter is suitable for stems with limited mounting space of up to 4 mm and has space available for all cables. You can mount the adapter easily yourself. To mount an Urban Iki front seat on a mountain bike, you must always use the MTB/ATB adapter. The adapter allows you to combine your front seat with a windscreen. If you do not mount a windscreen on your bike, an included cover cap neatly covers the mounting bracket.
