How a fit works · Bike Fit Studio

From the first booking to the rider's setup

A fit in Bike Fit Studio, step by step, as the studio sees it. Every value is recorded with its reason, and the body is measured with Montis Motion, not guessed.

The app's screens here show a made-up studio and riders.

1Book and arrive

Each fitter's day, open time, bookings and walk-ins. Riders book online and get their booking confirmed by email, with a reminder the day before.

Today in the studio: each fitter's bookings and open time

2Intake

The rider, their bike picked from the bike database, their goals, injuries and history: everything the fit starts from.

Intake: the rider's details

3Before: measured with Montis Motion

Markers on the bony landmarks; two phones film the rider pedalling, from the side and from behind. Every marker is tracked frame by frame: knee, hip, back, shoulder and elbow angles over each stroke, how well each dot was found, and each angle's spread.

From the dots: how well each dot was found, and each angle with its spread

4Knee tracking, from both cameras

Each knee's sideways travel through the stroke, read from behind and from the side together: the knee's forward-and-back movement is taken off, so what's left is the knee's own. Left and right side by side.

Each knee's sideways travel through the stroke, left and right

5Adjust, with a reason

Each change from and to, why it was made and how it felt on the bike: saddle, cleats, bars, the whole cockpit.

The adjustment log: each change, its reason and how it felt

6After, compared with Before

Measured again. Before and after side by side, each value against the studio's own reference ranges.

7The rider's setup

When the fit is finished, the rider gets their setup by email and keeps it in My bike fits: the bike before and after, what changed and why.

Built for the fitter

Everything around the fit

From choosing the frame to the studio's own standards, in the same app.

A tracking dot on the outside of the knee, over the bone

Placing the dots

Each dot on its bone, found by touch, so Before and After are measured at the same points.

The fit room from above: the bike, the side and behind cameras and the light

Ready in the room

The room set up once, the cameras, light and dots checked before each fit with the Studio check, so Before and After are filmed the same way.

Choosing a frame

Frames and their geometry by size, shared by every studio: compare frames and find the one that fits the rider's position.

Measure from a photo

Body measurements from a photo, to check the tape or in its place: a printed scale tag gives the millimetres, and the AI places the points.

Speak instead of typing

Say the values as you take them, in English or German; they're proposed back, and nothing is saved until the fitter accepts.

A second pair of eyes

Rules, and the AI the studio chooses, check each fit for gaps, numbers that don't fit together and differences between left and right. The fitter decides.

The studio's own standards

Every value against the studio's own reference ranges, set in its templates for each kind of riding.

Riders book online

On the studio's own page, in a free time from the fitters' calendars, confirmed by email.

Every fit, over time

A client's history on one page, and a later fit of the same bike starts where the last one left off.

The studio's figures

Fits and bookings for a day, a week, a month or a year.

The method behind it

Montis Motion™: how well it measures

Tested in the studio before any fit used it: markers, light, cameras and every angle against its own repeats, written up with its methods, results and limits.

All 8markers found on every frame in the reported trial
1.3–2.8°knee, hip, back and shoulder angles repeated within
about 1°margin of error at the knee, in motion

For studios

What a studio needs

  • A tablet for the fitter
  • Two phones on tripods, for the side and behind cameras
  • Good LED light on the rider
  • Fluorescent tracking dots
  • A Montis account for each of the team

Bike Fit Studio is coming soon to more studios.
