Bike Fit

 A PROPER BIKE FIT IS THE GREATEST PERFORMANCE UPGRADE YOU CAN MAKE TO YOUR BIKE.

Bike Fit

What is

Riding position is a key biomechanical factor influencing cycling performance and injury risk.

The optimal bike fit is a compromise between cycling performance, cycling economy, injury prevention and comfort.

We use acomprehensive data-driven and knowledge-based approach tooptimise a rider’s position on the bike. Fit starts with cleat-pedal interface adjustments, cycling specific range of motion assessments, followed by dynamic motion capture and finally report.

Pedal stroke

SETTING YOUR SHOE AND CLEAT POSITION

The bike fit starts by concentrating on your foot-pedal interface and the multiple ways the cleat aligns to the sole of your cycling shoe.

Ensuring your cleats are positioned correctly is critical for comfort – otherwise you risk forcing your feet and lower legs out of alignment causing knee pain.

We also examine how your knees track over the pedals. It may only need a few minor adjustments to get where your foot meets the pedal perfect but getting this position spot-on can significantly enhance your ride and how much power you generate.

FINDING YOUR OPTIMAL SADDLE HEIGHT AND POSITION

Finding your ideal saddle height and position is important for cycling as efficiently (and therefore, as fast) as possible. If your saddle is fixed too low or too high, it also means you’re more susceptible to knee pain and injury.

We align the saddle height and position to suit your individual physical needs, ensuring that your body weight is evenly distributed and posture is maintained in the correct position. This helps to increase your pedalling efficiency and reduce the amount of energy you expend, in tum boosting your endurance level, so ultimately you can ride for longer with ease.

ADJUSTING HANDLEBAR HEIGHT AND REACH

Another key aspect of our bike fit system is finding your correct handlebar height and reach.

Posture problems, for example, overreaching – stretching too far from the saddle to the bars – can cause a range of problems, from shoulder and lower back pain through to putting too much pressure on your hands causing numbness.

We adjust the length of the stem and handlebar reach to reflect your body type, leg and arm length and back flexibility, which can vary greatly depending on your profession (office-based or physical) and activities you enjoy.

Finding your optimum handlebar, saddle and cleat position can have an enormous impact on your overall riding performance and cycling enjoyment.

Technology

A powerful dynamic analysis by an automated tracking of markers placed on certain anatomical points.

The system has ahigh resolution camera that allows for sub millimetric accuracy.
