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 biomechanical capture system uses cameras, software and specialized sensors to identify pedaling technique and track precise joint position and movement of the trunk and extremities.
The video data and metrics are analyzed and precision adjustments are made to the saddle position, pedal-cleat interface and the handlebar-stem assembly to ensure an ergonomic and efficient fit, optimize position and performance, and decrease the risk of overuse injury.
This system is endorsed by major European bike manufacturers as well as the Movistar professional cycling team.
