Introduction
Bike fitting is the analysis and optimization of your position on the bike by a specialist. It's the most cost-effective investment you can make after purchasing your bike. Here's why.
What is a bike fitting?
A fitting is a 2-3 hour session with a specialist who analyzes your morphology, flexibility, riding habits, and goals. They then adjust all the settings of your bike to optimize your position.
Concrete benefits
Performance
An optimal position can improve your power by 5-15% by reducing energy losses due to poor posture.
Comfort
Most chronic pain experienced by cyclists (knees, back, neck, perineum) disappears after a good fitting.
Injury prevention
A poor position creates repetitive stress on the joints. Fitting eliminates these stresses before they become injuries.
When to get a fitting?
- When buying a new bike
- If you have chronic pain
- If you significantly increase your training volume
- If you change disciplines (road to gravel, for example)
How much does it cost?
A professional fitting costs between €150 and €400 depending on the fitter's level and the tools used. It's an investment that quickly pays for itself by preventing injuries and improving performance.
Conclusion
A fitting is about giving your body the position it deserves on your bike. And a well-adjusted bike deserves a wall mount to match — our David & Clément mounts are designed for that.
