A good position will allow you to adapt to changes in terrain, cadence, and effort while also remaining comfortable on your bike.

The Body Geometry FIT Process

  2. Strength & Flexibility Assessment – This evaluation provides an accurate picture of your riding strength and flexibility. During this assessment we cover foot structure, knee position, spinal curve, shoulder extension, hip flexion and leg length, among others.

  3. Side View – By observing your biomechanical posture your bike, the purpose is to determine your correct neutral position that’s both comfortable and efficient by adjusting the seat, handlebars, stem and cleats.

  4. Front View – Analysis from the front to optimize hip, knee and foot alignment for optimum efficiency and power delivery. We will also review your pedal+shoe placement and how square your position is on the saddle.
