The Optimal Cyclefit

The Optimal Cyclefit

At Cyclefit, we don’t just fit people to bikes—we analyse movement, optimize performance, and solve complex rider issues with a level of expertise few others can match. Our Optimal Cyclefit process is built on over two decades of hands-on experience with riders of every level, from first-time cyclists to World Tour professionals.

While other fitting services rely on basic tools and surface-level assessments, Cyclefit delivers a truly holistic approach. We go deeper—integrating advanced motion analysis with a deep understanding of bio-mechanics, foot control, posture, and pedaling efficiency.

Foot stability and alignment are central to how you move on the bike, and we’re experts at addressing these foundational elements to improve your bio-mechanics. comfort, improved power and injury resistance.

Your session will take place on our infinitely adjustable Fit Bike and we will define your optimal riding position.

More Experience. Better Outcomes. Proven at Every Level.

At any given Tour de France, we’ve worked with at least 10% of the professional peloton—and we bring that same expertise to every cyclist who walks through our doors. Our multi-disciplinary team includes world-class bike fitters, physiotherapists, podiatrists, and sports scientists, collaborating to solve problems others can’t. When you choose Cyclefit, you’re not just getting a bikefit—you’re getting a comprehensive performance solution built around you.

What to expect from your Cyclefit appointment

Our evidence-based bike fitting process follows a structured and clinical protocol:

1. Rider History & Interview to gather detailed information

Cycling history, goals and performance objectives
Injury history and current issues

2. Functional Movement Assessment (FMS)

A structured evaluation including:
Postural alignment and symmetry (static and dynamic assessment)
Lower limb functional screening (e.g., single-leg squats)
Hamstring and hip-flexor flexibility
Inseam and limb-length measurement to inform bike set-up

3. Pedal Interface & Foot Control Analysis

Foot measurements and assessment
Prescription and fitting of Sidas footbeds (if indicated)
Cleat position optimisation
Use of varus/valgus wedges, pedal spacers, and stack height modifications if required

4. Dynamic Fitting on the Cyclefit Fit Bike

Live positional assessment pedalling on our infinitely adjustable Cyclefit Fit Bike
Dynamic saddle height, setback, and cockpit adjustment as you ride
Establishment of optimal limb angles and kinematic efficiency
Output of bike set-up measurements in easy to understand numbers and XY handlebar and saddle co-ordinates

5. Coaching and advice on ideal pedal technique and cycling posture

Guidance to improve pedal symmetry and correct application of force
Upper body postural advice to engage the core and glutes

6. Post-Fit Evaluation & Summary

Following the session, you will receive:
A detailed report with observations, recommendations and bike set-up measurements
Equipment recommendations to improve your riding position and performance
Referral to experts within our Cyclefit professional network if required

Cyclefit Technology

At Cyclefit London we use the most advanced bike fitting technology combined with expert analysis to deliver the most precise bike fitting experience in the UK.

1. Cyclefit Fit Bike Analysis
The infinitely adjustable CycleFit Bike records key pedalling data and precise XY coordinates. This allows us to determine your optimal bike set-up.

2. Dartfish 4-Camera Motion Analysis
Four high-speed Dartfish cameras (60+ frames per second), analyse your riding posture and technique in real-time. This motion analysis goes far beyond what the human eye can see (16 fps) and is a powerful diagnostic and coaching tool for cyclists of all levels.

3. Saddle Pressure Mapping
The gebioMized pressure pad analyses the interaction between the pelvis and saddle. It records how any positional changes affect the contact points and symmetry on the saddle and helps your fitter determine the most comfortable saddle.

4. Spinscan Pedal Analysis
Spinscan remains the most accurate method of evaluating pedalling efficiency. We use this tool to track how positional adjustments influence your pedal stroke—perfect for technique optimization and essential for post-injury rehabilitation.
