Biomechanics Defined


By Jay Courant

Form + Function

At Stage5 Cycling, we define cycling biomechanics as the complete relationship between rider and machine. This includes the science of adapting the bike to correctly fit the rider as well as instruction in proper positioning and technique. This is what sets us apart from other bike fits.

We feel strongly that technique errors are typically missed during a bike fit session. You can put a rider in the perfect position on the perfect bike, but if they aren’t riding correctly, they can’t maximize their potential on the machine.

Your Body + Your Bike

Additionally, most fits are done very subjectively and their lack of measurement and ergonomics produce a fit that is inconsistent and biomechanically incorrect. In our fitting process, we strive to be measurable, reproducible and to address rider function. In fact, about half of the time spent with each cyclist, from amateur to pros, is on technique and position on the machine. Once these areas are addressed, you allow a cyclist to significantly elevate their comfort and performance.
