Bike Fitting
We have a range of bike fits that will help, take you further.
“What is a bike fitting?”
A bike fitting is a personalized and professional service aimed at optimizing the interaction between a cyclist and their bicycle. The process involves adjusting various components of the bike, such as saddle height, handlebar position, and cleat/shoe alignment, to match the rider's unique body mechanics and preferences. The goal is to enhance comfort, efficiency, and overall performance while minimizing the risk of injuries. Whether you're a casual rider or a seasoned cyclist, a proper bike fitting can make a significant difference in your riding experience by ensuring that the bike is tailored to your individual anatomy and riding style.
Unsure how you would benefit from our services? Our 40 minute ‘Introduction Session’ is the best way for us to understand where you’re at with your cycling and how we can help you the most.”
Introduction fit for fit
£50.00
Everyone benefits from a bike fit, but you’re not everyone! We start off by understanding where you’re at with your cycling and how we can help you the most.
It doesn’t matter if you’re an Olympic competitor, a complete novice or a seasoned rider who’s suffered an injury, we have the experience and skills to help you advance with greater enjoyment, comfort and performance.
Classic bike fit
£155.00
Our classic bike fit is conducted largely by eye using our experience and some technology. Best suited for riders doing less than 5 hours per week and recommended to help with mild discomfort in one area of their riding.
A session includes an interview, posture and flexibility assessment.
We then closely observe you riding on a turbo trainer at varying effort levels to identify areas of adjustment required to improve the overall comfort and efficiency of your riding position. Cleat and shoe adjustments are included.
Precision bike fit
£245.00
This is our most in-depth bike fitting service.
Suited to riders doing more than 5 hours per week and recommended to help with significant or multiple riding discomforts, medically diagnosed or chronic injuries. It is also ideal for performance and endurance athletes and for positional fine-tuning.
A session includes a thorough interview, structural and muscular assessment and exercise screening. We'll utilise the latest analysis technology to accurately assess your current riding position and evaluate changes throughout the session. Cleat and shoe adjustments are included.
Aero bike fit
£365.00
A rider creates up to 80% of the total drag, so this is where we can help to make you as fast as possible. Ideal for Time Triallists, Road Racers and Triathletes.
We'll address concerns and discomforts as well as using a virtual wind tunnel to measure CdA (drag) in real-time, combined with power data we can calculate speed and time on the road.
We work through various changes in position to increase speed, improve comfort and save you energy. This session includes a thorough interview, structural and muscular assessment, exercise screening and a full Precision Bike Fitting including cleat and shoe adjustment.
£185.00
Only aero
Happy with your comfort and power and just interested in getting more slippery? This standalone session focuses purely on making you as aerodynamically efficient as possible at your determined goal by utilising our VelogicFit 3D Aero system.
New bike advisory
£245.00
Looking to treat yourself to a new machine?
We're here to help you choose the very best bike for you! During a three-hour appointment, we will carry out a Classic Bike Fit on your current bike (or our studio bike upon request) to ensure you are in your optimum riding position.
We then spend the rest of the time going through your shortlist of potential bikes, highlighting which will best suit your physiology and riding needs. (Additional bike choices may require extra consultation time).
Muscle activation analysis
£50.00
Added to a bike fit or aero testing. Wearable tech, measuring the electrical activity of the muscles using electromyography (EMG). This gives us insight into exactly how you're using your main leg muscles throughout the pedal stroke, and how this is affected by riding position.
Identifying which muscles are overactive or underactive, left and right imbalances as well as hamstring or quadricep dominance to improve your workload distribution, reduce strain to individual areas and reduce the required muscle activity for the same power output, making you more efficient. Also a great running analysis for triathletes and duathletes.
Available in small, medium and large size shorts, catering for riders 55 - 90kg, waist size 27 - 37 inches.
Exercise screening
£60.00
Functional Screening for cyclists, triathletes and runners looking to improve overall athletic performance or day-to-day strength and condition.
Why consider a Screening?
Prehab: To ensure you are ready to train effectively, maintain proper exercise function and avoid injuries caused by poor movement repetition. If you're taking up a new sport, or significantly increasing your training, screening would be a great first step.
Rehab: To aid the recovery process involved in returning to sport from an injury. Understanding any limitations caused by the injury, as well as compensations your body may have made, helping you to return to full fitness and reduce your chances of reinjury.
Performance: Gain insight into your athletic function and identify areas of weakness or imbalance to make improvements in your performance in your chosen sport and to gain and find that edge over your competitors.
Well-being: Postural dysfunction caused by repetitive stresses such as work and home life can lead to everyday discomfort and pain. By highlighting potential issues early, you can make plans to remain healthy and pain-free.
The report can also be shared with your Physio/Osteopath/Chiro/Personal Trainer etc. Your results can be replayed and compared instantly and make for an incredibly consistent and repeatable assessment, even over separate visits.
