Calculate your bike frame size
To enjoy cycling it is important that you sit comfortably and well on your bike. The frame size is expressed in centimeters, it is the length of the vertical tube in your frame: the tube where your saddle sticks out. Which frame size you need depends on a number of factors: your inseam, bike type or sitting position.
In the bike frame size chart below you can, according to your height, calculate your frame size. We give you 2 or 3 sizes based on your height.

Frequently asked questions
We have different frames available in different sizes. For example: Gazelle Medeo is available in 45, 50, 55 and 60. Gazelle Orange is available in 42, 46, 49, 53, 57, 61, 65. A bike frame size at Gazelle is always shown in centimeters and is the distance between: the top of the seat tube and the center of the bottom bracket.
Because we use different frames for our bikes, you may receive multiple frame sizes as advice. Especially if you have an average body height, almost every bike is available in a suitable frame size.
In addition, your ideal frame size depends on a number of factors: type of bike (e.g. e-bike or bicycle), your inseam, sitting position and whether you want a sprung saddle. Personal preference is also important. We always advise to go test drive so that you can experience the differences in frame sizes for yourself.
You can calculate the frame size of your bike yourself by measuring your inseam. But how do you do this?
Grab a tape measure
Take off your shoes and socks and place your feet 20 cm apart
Measure (or have measured) the distance from the cross to the ground
Multiply the distance by 0.68: this is your ideal frame size
Do you want a bike with a suspension seat post? Then calculate: frame size minus 4.
The frame size of your Gazelle bike can be found on the sticker near your bottom bracket, above the lock or on the tube under the saddle.
