How to measure height:
- It’s easier to get accurate measurements if you have someone to help you with this
- Remove your shoes and stand straight, back against a wall.
- Place a book on your head so that it touches the wall.
- Make sure you still have your heels on the ground, then mark with a pencil where the bottom of the book touches the wall.
- Measure from the mark to the floor.

- Take off your shoes and stand straight, with your back against a wall.
- Place a book between your legs and slide it up the wall to meet the crotch firmly as if you are sat on a saddle.
- Make sure you still have your heels on the ground, then mark with a pencil where the top of the book touches the wall.
- Measure the distance from that mark straight down to the floor.

Responsive and lightweight
At just 9.44kg (Medium) the Janis is lightweight by anyone’s standards. Maximising a rider’s power, a lightweight bike gives a significant boost in your ability to climb hills. Perfect for a rider who sees advancing years as no reason to slow down.
-
Super low gearing
Low gearing can be the difference between making it up a climb and walking. The Janis features an 11-40T cassette and a 30T chainring (other sizes available) giving a super-low gear to tackle any and all terrain.
-
Low step over
Getting on and off a bike can get more difficult with reduced mobility. The Janis features a low step over frame, making mounting and dismounting a breeze.

Puncture repair made easy
Our unique Easy-Tyre-Change rim profile makes tyre removal easy, meaning you can get back to riding in no time at all.
Let’s face it, getting a puncture can be a terrible nuisance. Even more so when a tyre/rim combination makes it nigh on impossible to fix.
The unique rim bed profile on the Islabikes Easy-Tyre-Change rim gives a wider, deeper well for the tyre bead to move into making tyre removal much easier.

Islabikes own cranks with Direct Mount fitting
The distance between your feet when pedalling (Q-factor) can make a significant difference to your pedalling efficiency. To guarantee the rider’s pedalling is as efficient as possible we spec our custom cranks that are optimised to get the most from the rider’s power output.
Super-lightweight, low Q-factor cranks featuring a Direct Mount narrow-wide chainring with a range of size options ranging from 26T to 38T, meaning there is something for everyone.
