We’ve done the bike fits, to save you time.
ErgoFiT, developed by Science to Sport is an evidence-based biomechanics software with proven accuracy. Over the years, the thousands of bike fits completed within this system have contributed to the algorithm that predicts the correct measurements. This range gives the bike fitter a starting point to check for any abnormalities in the set-up, thus saving time.
 
We offer annual subscriptions to the ErgoFiT software, which includes your set up tools and training.

Do you know your primary source of fuel when you ride?
A Fat Max test at one of labs will outline the training intensities where your fax oxidation rates are currently maximal. Knowing these zones will allow you plan your training in a way that maximises your fat oxidisation rate. Over time, this can change, so we recommend regular monitoring of this.
