About the FiT
The art of Bike fitting is to provide a cyclist with the positioning on a bike that balances efficiency, comfort and performance. The science is the understanding of how the body systems integrate to provide muscular power, endurance and postural sustainability in various riding circumstances.
VanIsle BiKeFiT integrates the 2DMA Motion Capture Analysis from STT Systems for the fitting process. ▷ 2DMA: 2D Optical Motion Capture Software - MOTIO This system is endorsed by major European bike manufacturers as well as the Movistar professional cycling team. The biomechanical capture system offers a detailed analysis of pedaling technique with the use of cameras, software and specialized sensors to track the precise joint position of the upper and lower extremities. This allows for the evaluation of the cyclist’s posture and movement on the bike so that adjustments can be made to optimize alignment and identify biomechanical deviations that increase the risk of injury. The video data and metrics are analyzed and precision adjustments to the saddle, pedal-cleat interface and the handlebar-stem assembly will ensure an ergonomic and efficient fit, optimizing position and performance.
Who benefits from a BikeFIT?
Recreational cyclists, mountain and road riders, commuters, elite racers and those with any discomfort when riding a bike.
