Why get a Bik Fit.

A proper bike fit optimizes comfort and performance by aligning cleats for efficient pedaling (feet), adjusting saddle height and position (seat), and fine-tuning handlebar height and reach (hands). This ensures a balanced and comfortable riding position, preventing injuries and optimizing overall cycling experience. We consider individual biomechanics and preferences to tailor the fit to the rider's specific needs.

Getting a bike fit is important for:

  1. Comfort: Enhances comfort and reduces the risk of pain or discomfort.
  2. Performance: Optimizes efficiency, power transfer, and overall cycling performance.
  3. Injury Prevention: Reduces the risk of injuries by ensuring proper alignment and biomechanics.
  4. Customization: Tailors the bike to your unique body proportions and riding style.
  5. Enjoyment: Increases overall enjoyment of cycling by improving handling, control, and confidence.
