Ülésszöge

Ülésszöge, which translates to "seat angle" in English, is a term primarily used in the context of cycling and automotive design. In cycling, it refers to the angle of the seat tube relative to the horizontal ground. This angle significantly impacts a rider's position on the bicycle. A steeper seat tube angle (closer to 90 degrees) places the rider more directly over the pedals, which is often favored for climbing and racing due to its efficiency. A slacker seat tube angle (closer to 70 degrees) moves the rider's weight back, providing a more relaxed posture and better stability, commonly found on mountain bikes or touring bikes. The optimal seat angle can depend on the rider's body geometry, riding style, and the intended use of the bicycle.

In automotive design, particularly in sports cars or performance vehicles, "ülésszöge" can refer to the recline angle of the seat. A more upright seat angle often contributes to better visibility and control, allowing the driver to react more quickly. Conversely, a more reclined seat angle can provide a more relaxed feel for longer journeys or a more aggressive posture for track driving. Similar to cycling, the seat angle in cars is a design consideration that balances comfort, ergonomics, and the vehicle's intended purpose. While the term is less common in everyday automotive discussion, it is a factor considered by designers when optimizing the driver's experience.
