¿What is Bikefitting?
A “bikefit” personalizes the angulations between segments (kinematics) based on the characteristics and needs of the cyclist. The kinematic angulations and the disposition of the cyclist with respect to the bicycle, as well as the solidity of the contact points, will have a major influence on the possibility that the direction of the forces when pedaling is optimal. Therefore, they will condition Biomechanics in a certain way.
This is why bikefitting is the study of biomechanics focused on cycling. Understand measuring your body and fitting the bike so both work efficiently.
Benefit of Bikefitting
Regardless of the use that is given to the bicycle, good posture on it is vital. It is the result of a careful balance between power, efficiency, resistance and comfort. A correct position helps prevent injuries and increases comfort when pedaling. We have developed a modular concept for every type of cyclist, from a daily commuter bike to a professional racing bike.
This is why the benefits of Bikefitting are more comfort, more performance and no postural pain. Bikefitting offers different solutions so that each cyclist can achieve the perfect position and pedaling on their bicycle.
Prevent lessons
Improve performance
Improves aerodynamics
Reduces fatigue
Improves position
Increases force transfer when pedaling
Improves the feeling with the saddle and rudder
¿Why customize the Bicycle?
100% of choosing a bicycle is passionate: Because we liked it in a catalogue, we saw it in a competition, we bought it from someone who wanted to sell it, we received it as a gift, etc.
Manufacturers and stores offer frames of different sizes depending on the height of the cyclist, but there are additionally parameters that are not taken into account such as leg length, shoe size, tibial torsion, pedaling technique, pronations or supinations of the foot, flexibility, inclination of the trunk etc. All of these variables are very personal and impossible to quantify when purchasing a bicycle.
It is therefore necessary to personalize the bicycle to the user, varying the position of the components: height, forward and backward of the saddle, height and width of the rudder, rotation of the cleats, among others. If the ideal size cannot be reached due to a different size frame, to protect the cyclist's investment in their frame, we offer rods, rudders, stems, cleats and spacers of different sizes to achieve the cyclist's fit.
Cycling is a cyclical sport, and incorrect foot alignment, saddle height or rudder width can cause us to not achieve the performance it can really give, or even cause injuries or discomfort that lowers our performance.
The exponential increase in cycling practitioners in recent years has caused many cyclists to venture into training without prior knowledge, causing injuries due to overtraining, inadequate support or incorrect technique.
We must be aware of the needs of our clients by proposing this examination to protect the athlete during their sporting life.

¿What is the Bikefitting process?
1. Installation of the user's own bicycle in a Simulator and Power sensor.
2. Take the bicycle socks before the exam.
3. Warm up for a few minutes at a moderate speed.
4. Placing reflective markers at specific anatomical points and performing several pedaling tests, all without intervening yet.
5. Analysis of the results in 2D and 3D and beginning of adjustments to the bicycle.
Carrying out new measurements with the adjustments made.
6. Take the bicycle socks before the exam.
7. Delivery of a report of the measurements both before and after the exam.
8. Follow-up with the client a few days later, to verify adjustments and feelings with the changes made.
