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. The art and science of the BikeFit is applied to achieve an ergonomically sustainable fitting experience without sacrificing performance. This strategy is applicable to cyclists of all levels and abilities, whether recreational or elite, and will optimize body-bike compatibility, while reducing the risk of overuse injury. Following each optimized BikeFiT, specific exercise guidance will be provided to address biomechanical faults, and tissue inflexibility.
