Fitted to You, Ride Longer

A bike that’s fitted to your body is more comfortable to ride. You can stay out longer, put your power down more efficiently, and cut down on the fatigue and muscle issues a poorly fitted bike can cause.

It isn’t just for pros. Fits are for every cyclist — riders who ride for fun, commuters, and especially new riders, so they start out without the problems that cause pain later.

Not too long or low, not too short or high — balanced for you.

What a Fit Can Fix

A proper fit doesn’t just make riding more comfortable — it lets you push more watts for longer and can reduce the risk of accidents and muscular issues. These are the most common problems it addresses.

01Foot Numbness & PainProper foot position on the pedals and shoe-pedal interface relieves pressure on the nerves.
02Achilles PainOptimized pedal and saddle height reduces stress on the Achilles tendon.
03Hand Numbness & PainAdjusted handlebar height and reach spread pressure evenly across your hands.
04Neck & Shoulder PainAligned handlebar and saddle reduce tension in the neck and shoulders.
05Back DiscomfortA bike sized to your body stops the overreaching or hunching that causes back pain.
06Knee PainPedal and saddle height and fore-aft adjustments promote correct knee alignment.
07Pelvic NumbnessSaddle height, tilt and shape are set for even pressure distribution.
08Trouble Staying in the DropsHandlebar height and stem length are adjusted so the drops are easy to reach and hold.
09Repeated Saddle SoresSaddle shape, material and position matched to your anatomy, plus shorts recommendations.
10Excessive CrampingA bike adjusted to your body allows more efficient muscle use.
The Process

How a Fit Works

A fit takes a bike that’s right for you and tailors it to your body and the way you ride. Every fit follows the same five steps.

Step 01Athlete QuestionnaireYour discipline, any issues, flexibility and body metrics — plus your bike’s starting position.
Step 02Indoor FitOn a stationary trainer: lower and upper body fit, with your position recorded before and after.
Step 03Outdoor TestingTake the new position out on the road.
Step 04Adjust as NecessaryFine-tune anything that doesn’t feel right.
Step 05Final PositionYour final position is recorded and you get a copy of your initial and final assessments.
