>>2005513Forward saddle positions put more emphasis on the downstroke and up stroke and can allow you to put out more power.
However it's worse for long distance comfort(non issue here) and worse for people with long femurs, or steep seat tube angles.
Also that is a pretty long seat+ the forward seat allows it to be a little higher and give more room for aero positions.Also with that Fuckhuge stem it might keep his reach right.
Forward positions like that are very common on TT bikes
I tend to run a more forward seat on some bikes, otherwise it feels like I am having issues getting good hamstring engagement.
