Easy to follow step by step guide
One of the leading experts in bike ergonomics, Dr Kim Tofaute created the fitting box to enhance comfort, performance and riding pleasure. The development of the fitting box was done in a way to be easily understood by everyone. In just seven steps, you are able to ergonomically align your bike to your body, preventing common improper fit complaints!
Better fit = better performance
Not only does a proper fit alleviate common discomforts, it also increases your riding efficiency. The wrong saddle height in itself prevents your legs from putting out the maximum amount of power to the pedal, which causes you to lose speed. If this and other measurements on your bike are not correct, your body is quicker to fatigue. All of this reduces your performance, speed and efficiency.
Riding enjoyment without discomfort
Cycling is a great activity that keeps you fit, healthy and is fun to do! However, it's not always a pure pleasure.
