Bicycle Positioning Analysis: Optimize Your Comfort and Performance

Bikefit

Do you experience pain in your back, knees, neck, or shoulders while cycling?

It is highly likely that your bike is not adapted to your morphology or physical condition. Proper fit is a non-negotiable factor for riding comfortably and safely at all times, while also allowing you to optimize your performance.

Even if you aren’t currently experiencing pain, prevention is key. Using an unadjusted bike can lead to discomfort and long-term injuries. Several factors must be evaluated, including the saddle, bike height, handlebars, and shoe cleats.

WHY ENTRUST YOUR BIKE FITTING TO OUR TEAM?

Every cyclist is unique and deserves a custom adjustment for maximum performance and optimal comfort. At NxtG, we offer the expertise of two types of healthcare professionals to meet your specific needs:

Clinical Expertise (Physiotherapists and Technologists)

This category includes our healthcare professionals, experts in the human body and movement. By combining their in-depth knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics, they offer a therapeutic approach to positioning:

  • Assessment and Correction: They evaluate your morphology, technique, and physical limitations. Through their clinical lens and the NxtG Pro certification, they identify compensations and optimize your components to maximize pedaling efficiency.

  • Health and Performance: In addition to adjusting the bike, they can establish a treatment plan including mobility or strengthening exercises.

Technical Know-how (Bikefit Technicians)

This category focuses on the mechanical aspects and standard ergonomics of the bike, without the clinical aspect of rehabilitation:

  • Precision Adjustment: The technician specializes in the direct interaction between the athlete and their machine. They use established measurement protocols to adjust contact points (saddle, cleats, handlebars) to meet industry standards.

  • Equipment Optimization: Their role is to ensure that the bike’s settings respect the proper angles for comfort and aerodynamic performance.

Which professional for your needs?

(1) If the injury assessment was previously conducted by a physiotherapist.

(2) The receipt issued for this service will be under the title of a physiotherapy technologist, and not a physiotherapist.

FAQ

Physiotherapists or Technologists: This is the ideal option if you experience persistent pain, have a history of injuries, or are looking for a rigorous postural analysis to prevent long-term discomfort.

Bikefit Technicians: An excellent choice for pain-free cyclists who simply want to optimize their equipment, improve their aerodynamics, or ensure their new bike is set up according to industry standards. This is also our most affordable option.

If you have an active injury (knee, back, neck, etc.), we recommend making an appointment with one of our physiotherapists. They possess the clinical expertise required to adapt the bike to your condition while treating the source of your pain.

Yes, absolutely! For a triathlon-specific fitting or to have performance bars added, you can book an appointment with our dedicated experts: Kevin, Félix-Antoine, Audrey, or Dave.

90 to 120 minutes: Road, gravel, or hybrid bike.

120 minutes: Triathlon bike or bike with performance aerobars.

45 minutes: Follow-up session (minor adjustments or verification).

The session is structured for maximum precision:

  1. Initial Assessment: Analysis of your physical condition and goals (exclusive to physiotherapists and technologists).

  2. Measurements: Evaluation of your bike’s current settings.

  3. Adjustments: Ergonomic modifications of components (saddle, cleats, handlebars).

  4. Movement Analysis: Dynamic observation of your pedaling.

  5. Exercises: Strengthening or mobility recommendations to optimize your comfort.
