Our mission is to make biomechanical analysis affordable and available to all bike enthusiasts, as having a correct posture in the saddle is essential to have fun and to enjoy the benefits of cycling.
From simple advice on correct posture to a more in-depth analysis of your pedalling, our service aims to guide you through the static and dynamic parts of the analysis to identify any areas for improvement.

Thanks to the introduction of modern hardware and software developed by Shimano Dynamics Lab technology, we offer an exclusive Bike Fitting service.
We analyse your body measurements and calculate the correct cycling position, refining the result of the program through a practical test on a simulator.
This highly evolved system is adaptable to every kind of cyclist, discipline and bicycle use, and is carried out over three phases:
Phase 1 Static measurement
With 10 input measurements, the dimensions of the cyclist’s body are converted into cycling postures for all sporting disciplines, in line with various preferences.
Processing the measurements data allows you to configure a custom frame or identify the frame size that best suits your needs from a range of over 60 brands and 3,000 models.
Phase 2 Position setup
DYNAMIC ADJUSTMENT WITH MOTION ANALYZER
Shimano Dynamics Lab technology takes bike tuning to the next level by taking into account your specific cycling setup issues, observing range of motion, flexibility and riding style.
To further optimize the static fitting, there are two options:
- In “Wizard” mode, the software provides further biomechanical understanding to the operator to enhance the analysis service
- In “Advanced” mode, the program makes a huge range of data available (including joint length, specific angles) to help optimize posture.
The ‘Digital frame geometry plug-in’ provides precise recommendations for the various components, starting from the geometry of the frame.
Phase 3 3D dynamic analysis
POSTURE SIMULATOR WITH PEDALING ANALYZER
The posture simulator is set up based on the data from the static measurements and the dynamic adjustment.
The included XY duplication program allows you to adjust the bicycle in line with the calculations, or to duplicate the geometry of a bike available on the market. The integrated quick release of the handlebar and saddle allows you to check and choose the best components to meet your needs.
Through the integrated 3D pedalling analyser on the simulator, we can monitor your performance and efficiency, identifying any asymmetry in your pedalling technique and providing a training program if necessary.
INSIGHTS
ANALYSIS
The biomechanics appointment evaluates and optimizes:
- Anamnesis
- Postural evaluation
- Anthropometric survey
- Posture in the saddle
- Dynamics and pedalling analysis
Rather than a single appointment, biomechanical analysis is a continuing process, closely linked with the cyclist’s everyday life and personal goals.
Benefits
The session can provide a range of benefits, including:
- Performance improvement
- Increased pedalling strength
- Improvement in pedalling efficiency
- Increased comfort
- Accident prevention
Each of these benefits can be given more or less emphasis, in line with the cyclist’s objectives.
Advantages
Anyone can benefit from a biomechanical appointment:
- Competitive cyclists
- Triathletes
- Tourists by bike
- Longer distance travellers
Everyone experiences cycling in a different way and has various goals and objectives. There is no single “correct cycling posture” but everyone has their individual optimal position based on their physical characteristics and desired performance level.
