Fitting
All our sizings and fittings are designed for cyclists looking to increase comfort and performance. For our fits, we use a combination of basic fitting tools, knowledge and understanding of the human body and video capture, to help guide you into the right position for unprecedented insight into your riding position. You will learn proper pedaling technique, understand how to develop efficient power transfer and how to improve your comfort on the bike. When you leave, we will give you goals and tips to help your riding beyond the work we do in the studio making this fitting a truly collaborative process.
