The correct sitting position on the bike is the decisive basis for optimal power transmission and pain-free riding. We will train you to become a triathlon.de BIKE FITTER.

More and more athletes appreciate the added value of a bike fitting for optimal adjustment to their sports equipment - from performance-oriented racing cyclists and triathletes to occasional hobby cyclists on racing bikes or gravel bikes.


Aim of a BIKE FITTING

...it is to coordinate athletes and sports equipment in the best possible way. Therefore, a good bike fitting always takes both aspects into account:

  • Bike (bike type, geometry, adjustment options)
  • Driver (physical requirements, sporting goals, needs, concrete problems if necessary)

Holistic approach

Each bike fitting is therefore individual and is dedicated to various biomechanical and anatomical-functional aspects:

  • power transmission
  • pedaling efficiency
  • stability
  • weight distribution
  • aerodynamics
  • pain prevention
  • saddle advice
  • cleat setting

For whom is the triathlon.de BIKE FITTER training suitable?

  • Employees in bicycle shops as an additional qualification (bike fitting as an additional service in the shop)
  • Club trainers cycling / triathlon
  • personal trainers
  • physiotherapists
  • interested athletes

No qualifications/licenses are required for the Bike Fitter training.


In the two-day training

... you will learn the biomechanical functional principle on different types of bikes (time trial bike/racing bike/gravel bike), anatomical and physiological basics of bike adjustment as well as basic training principles.

  • To offer bike fittings as a service for your customers / athletes
  • Athletes of different performance levels can be optimally adapted to their bike (racing bike / gravel / time trial bike).
