Silence S01 vs Sondors Metacycle ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Silence S01 has a 805 mm seat; the Sondors Metacycle sits at 800 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 81 cm for the Silence S01 and 80 cm for the Sondors Metacycle.

That makes the Sondors Metacycle the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Silence S01 gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
