Specialized BG FIT

Posted by michael on May 26, 2011 in Bike News, Reviews, Store Blog, Updates, upgrades

Specialized Developed their BG FIT (Body Geometry Fit Integration Technology) system with the help of Dr. Andy Pruitt Ed.D., PA of the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine. Fittings via this system are only available at Specialized dealers and Super Cool is the exclusive Specialized dealer in Gainesville!

This system works in three parts:

Pre-interview – Before the fitting you’re interviewed to get your injury history and what your riding history/goals are to guide the fitting to you.
Flexibility Assessment – This portion gets measurements of the flexion and lengths of all your major body parts that contribute to the quality of your fit and ride.
Side View Assesment – From the side your riding position is evaluated to get the most neutral position. It gets your position comfortable, yet powerful, through adjustments to your seat height, handlebar height, stem adjustment and foot positioning.
Front View Assesment – From the front your shoulder hip and knee alignment is checked. This provides you with the most power and consistent power delivery over your pedal srtoke. Shoe placement and you saddle squareness are parts of this step.
Follow-up – a Week later the fitting technician will call you to discuss the fit and any concerns you may have. If there is any need for changes you discuss this with the technician.

There is also much more videos and testimonials available via the Specialized site for the BG FIT system:
