Bike fitting is the process by which your best position on your bike is determined with the assistance of our professional Bike Fit Staff. We analyze every contact point a rider has on the bike and make sure that they are all optimized for your body. Getting your bike fitted to you increases your comfort, improves your performance, minimizes your risk of injury and helps you learn proper posture and technique.
It’s rare for a cyclist to settle into their optimal position right away, for two reasons: first, it’s a bit unnatural, and therefore not instinctual. Second, the bike is probably not set up to allow for it. During your fitting, every measurable aspect of you and your bike will be analyzed and adjusted accordingly. We will teach you the correct way to interact with your bike and help you understand why your posture and technique is just as important as your bike’s proper set-up. Small adjustments can make a big difference!

A more extensive process, the FIST fit involves creating your ideal fit based on the same principles as the Basic Fit, but utilizes the EXiT Bike and the specific protocols developed for it. Basically, the EXiT bike is a stationary bike that can be adjusted in every conceivable way. It connects you to a power meter and heart rate monitor to observe your performance on the bike, as well as how your performance is affected as adjustments are made. Our Pro Fit is a workout, so make sure you come in with fresh legs!
