Then a professional bike fitting is the key. In this article, you'll find out what a bike fitting is, how it works and why it's worth visiting swissbiomechanics.<\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a bike fitting - and why is it so important?<\/h2><p>Bikefitting is the biomechanically based adaptation of your bike to your body. The aim is to achieve a riding position that is both comfortable and conducive to performance. A poorly adjusted bike can lead to pain, overloading or loss of performance in the long term. A professional fitting helps you to ride more efficiently - without any discomfort.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">swissbiomechanics: The specialists for healthy cycling<\/h2><p>The Swiss ETH spin-off company swissbiomechanics specialises in biomechanical analyses. The company is represented at locations such as Winterthur, Zurich, Bern, Basel and Einsiedeln - but the bike analyses themselves take place exclusively in Einsiedeln. There, the team analyses your movement patterns and adapts your bike precisely to your body - regardless of whether you are riding your city bike to work or preparing for a race.<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\"Anyone who has ever come back from a tour with hands that have fallen asleep or aching knees knows that the right riding position is crucial.

Included is always a free follow-up appointment after a few weeks - in case one of the adjustments still does not feel optimal.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does a bike fitting also make sense for e-bikes?<\/h3><p>Yes, absolutely. The importance of a healthy posture is often underestimated, especially with e-bikes. The motor does not replace biomechanics. Only if your riding position is correct will you be able to ride without pain in the long term, even with e-assistance.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does a bike fitting last?<\/h2><p>If your body mass or set-up does not change, you will benefit for years to come.
