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.
