Bike Fit Calculator

Bike Fit is the perfect adjustment of the bike to the cyclist, making pedaling more comfortable, safe and efficient. With a well-done bike fit, it is possible to avoid buying the wrong size of bike, or making adjustments to the bike you already have, positively impacting the act of riding a bike.

This virtual bike fit uses a simple and established formula, but it should only be understood as a starting point for anyone who wants to be well positioned on top of a bicycle. Whenever possible, contact a professional, either to buy a new bike or to be comfortable with the one you already have. No two bodies are exactly alike, so even two people with the same measurements can have different feelings on the same bike. Contact a professional, especially if you continue to experience pain or discomfort after applying the measurements calculated here.

* The so-called LeMond method, used here, was created by three-time Tour de France champion Greg Lemond. This bike fit was designed according to the LeMond method, and following the specifications in this document.
