Bike Fite
Improve your posture on the bike - BIKEFIT
A BikeFit will improve a cyclist's posture on their bike and increase their
understanding of movement while cycling.
This will help to prevent new injuries or chronic pain while facilitating
the recovery from existing ones and will also
improve performance.
Adjustments are made in three key points:
- cleats position: overall correct position, forward or rotational adjustments
- saddle position: height, tilt, forward/backward adjustment
- handlebars position: type, height, distance from the saddle, angle of brake levers
WHO IS A BIKEFIT FOR?
A BikeFit is for amateur and professional cyclists who when cycling
experience pain or discomfort caused by incorrect
posture, injury or the incorrect positioning of bike elements. It is also
suitable for riders wishing to improve their
bike's efficiency and their performance.
As well as road bike users, a BikeFit may also benefit mountain bikers,
triathlon athletes and cycle tourists.
