The INTUIT
BIKE FIT full spectrum sizing method and personalized individual
attention assist you in determining, kinesthetically and intuitively, your
optimum position in terms of comfort, efficiency, and performance. You can
improve your position on your current bicycle or determine the proper
measurements before you purchase a new bike. If you are searching for
something more specialized or custom built, INTUIT BIKE FIT
will
consult with manufactures’ design teams or with custom frame builders to
help you achieve your performance goals.
The settings and measurements of your
current bicycle are duplicated on the Serotta® Size Cycle, used in the
Intuit Bike Fit method. While you are on the Size cycle, modifications and
changes are made to your position. Once an optimum position is achieved,
the new measurements are recorded so they can be applied to either your
current or new bike.
Even minor adjustments to
your current position can produce a more efficient, comfortable and
pleasurable cycling experience.
INTUIT BIKE FIT
also uses the FIT KIT®, a system which combines biomechanical
rotational adjustment of cleat position and guidelines for suggested
bicycle dimensions based on measurement data collected from elite
cyclists. Of particular importance is the rotational cleat adjustment
capability for determining proper foot to pedal alignment. Properly
aligned foot position is essential with “fixed” pedal systems to avoid
excessive knee stress and is valuable even with “floating” pedal
systems to help avoid unintended foot release.
Rotational
adjustment is currently available for LOOK style road, Shimano SPD road
& mountain, and Ritchey mountain pedal systems, with others available
in the future.

INTUIT BIKE FIT works
in cooperation with many bike shops, clubs and teams, however, derives no
incomes, commissions, or incentives from them.
