Why FIT mattersLike a t-shirt, bikes come in sizes such as Small, Medium and Large. Or, like a suit, you can find more specific measurements like 52cm, 54cm, 56cm and more. But we don’t believe in choosing a bike based on one letter or number. That’s why we take a more personal approach to finding the exact size that fits your unique needs and build. We promise to fit the bike to your body, not the other way around.
During the bike fit, we optimize your position for power, cadence, position and most of all - comfort. Because whether you’re a recreational cyclist, mountain biker or triathlete, making you comfortable on your bike is our number one priority. The more comfortable you are, the more you will want to ride your bike. And the more ride, the more efficient you’ll become. It’s not rocket science. And when you purchase a bike from Swim Bike Run, you can be confident that every detail was chosen according to your specific needs. It’s as tailor made as a new bike can get. After all, it’s your body. Your budget. Your bike. Our Mission
SBR is fully invested in being a fit-first shop. That means we recommend getting a bike fit before you start shopping for bikes. Because the only right bike for you is the one that fits. It doesn’t matter if your budget is $500 or $5,000, any amount is too much to pay to gamble and get the wrong bike. And we provide a bike purchase process that guarantees the bike you get fits precisely like it should.
Bike sizing is at best inconsistent, and at worst, misleading. Bikes were once sized by measuring the distance from the center of the bottom bracket to the center of the intersection of the seat and top tube. If bike frames were all built the same, that would be fine. But they aren't. Other bike shops may assume that all cyclists roughly 6 feet tall will ride a 56cm or 58cm, not taking into consideration the difference between brands, frame styles and riders themselves. Consequently, lots of athletes are riding bikes that simply don't fit. But there is a better way. |
Types of Fits
|
The SBR Fit-Centric approach to bike fit is anchored by the Guru DFU Digital Fit Bike. The DFU is the state of the art tool for helping every rider, of every ability level, find the right fit for them. When a bike is properly fit to the rider, the rider will be more comfortable and more powerful. History has proven that the more comfortable a rider is, the more time they will choose to spend on the bike. By spending more time on the bike, they receive greater enjoyment from riding, and exponentially greater health and fitness benefits. In comparison, when a bike is improperly fit to the rider, the rider is dramatically more likely to injure themselves or simply not ride the bike. If the bike is just set aside in the garage because it's uncomfortable, or the rider is injured, the bike was a bad investment. Ensuring proper fit ensures it will be a good investment with long-term benefit
Don't just take our word for it. Have a look at this independent review of the DFU system and procedures by Bike Radar. Bike Radar is a highly trusted industry media resource. Their reviews are widely acclaimed as honest, accurate, and insightful, with a focus on the real-world needs of cyclists and triathletes.
