The new FIT BIKE
The new Fit Bike is bikefitting.com’s latest tool that assists bike stores and bike fitters in giving the best possible advice on bike size, position and set up, no matter if this is a road, MTB, gravel, commute or trekking bike. The Fit Bike gives the ability to replicate any position on any of the 35.000 bikes in the database and as such gives your customers the ability to try every bike in every size and set up, without the need of having all these bikes in stock or ready to test. With it’s wide ranging adjustability, it also provides the perfect basis for any advanced bike fitting process.
FIT BIKE modules
The bikefitting.com Fit Bike consists of various modules that can be purchased in different combinations depending on your needs. The following modules are available.
XY Tool
Enables exact measurement of XY coordinates to determine saddle and handlebar position.
The XY Tool enables you to establish XY coordinates of saddle and handlebar with laser precision and copy the exact set up of your customer’s bike to the Fit Bike as a starting point to the fitting process. Unless you have a 3D Motion Analyzer to establish the relevant XY coordinates, this module will be a key part of your Fit Bike set up.
Extension rail
Allows for the customer’s bike to be positioned parallel to the Fit Bike for easier position copying
The extension rail allows you to place the customer’s bike parallel to the Fit Bike, so that the XY Tool can be used to easily copy the position of the customer’s bike to the Fit Bike.
Motorized position adjustments
Provides automatic remote control positional adjustments of saddle and handlebar
The motors will provide a great experience for you and your customers as it automates any positional adjustments, allows you to directly translate certain positions from the software to the Fit Bike and let your customer experience the different feel of certain positional changes in an instance whilst riding.
Rotation platform
Coming Soon
Makes it easier to turn the Fit Bike and review position from both sides in a smaller room
The rotation platform on which the Fit Bike can be placed will make it easier to view the customer’s position from both left and right with the help of our 3D Motion Analyzer if space is limited.
Adjustable crankset
Coming Soon
An adjustable crankset will be made available in 2024
The adjustable crankset is still in development but will be made available throughout 2024. In the meantime, any HOLLOWTECH II compatible crankset can be used. This also includes various powermeters, giving you access to more specific power metrics during the fitting process.
3D Motion Analyzer
3D Motion Analysis camera adds full in-motion analysis of all relevant body angles
The 3D Motion Analyzer measures all the key body angles in motion and can provide guidance on what positional changes are required to optimize the cyclists position on the bike. The 3D Motion Analysis camera equipment also enables you to establish XY coordinates of both saddle and handlebar, which reduces the need for the XY Tool. The current 3D Motion Analyzer will require the use of a separate software package (Shimano Dynamics Lab). A more integrated version of this camera is scheduled for 2024.
