FASTER Fit Lab
The FASTER Fit Lab offers the world most sophisticated 2D and 3D bicycle fitting technology to ensure that every time you ride your bike you marvel at the comfort, power and performance that your bike fitting has provided. FASTER’s fitting staff have worked with beginner cyclists all the way up to professional athletes and whereas every level of client experiences different things the fitting experience is universally positive.
When deciding what bike to buy the most important element of that decision should be asking the question; how does this bike, model, size etc. compare to my ideal bike fitting dimensions? It is not unusual to choose a very different bike after the ideal position is defined in a bike fitting. Our Philosophy is always to prioritize Fit First and then choose your perfect bicycle.
FASTER’s Professional Positional Analysis aka Bike Fitting 2.0
A professional bike fitting in the FASTER Fit Lab contains the following key elements:

- Foot Evaluation – Understand foot structure and how it impacts knee and hip tracking
- Evaluate flexibility – What is the impact on position, power production, alignment and comfort
- 2D/3D Positional Evaluation – Document body movement patterns (kinematics) prior to adjustments
- 2D/3D Positional Optimization – Systematic position changes to optimize performance and comfort
- Cycling Posture Evaluation – Reinforce correct cycling posture and technique using video feedback
- Identify final bike position – Test positional stability under realistic efforts to validate results
- Positional comparison – 2D/3D comparison of positional changes and physical dimensional difference
- Document final position and recommendations – Provide dimensions of your perfect positions
- Recommendations – Provide model, geometry, component and frame material recommendations
- Custom Recommendations – Design custom bicycle, insoles, shoes etc. based on final position**
