ID Match: swipe right for the right bike fitting

ID Match: find your perfect fitting

Whether you want to get rid of persistent pain when riding or buy a bike you haven't been able to try out before, the new ID Match fitting system is a solution that matches the time and money you invest in your passion for cycling.

Thanks to cutting-edge technology and the use of data from tens of thousands of positionings, this tool will give you accurate information to optimize your posture and pedaling technique.

Finding the right fit... not always easy

Whether you are a long-time cyclist or one of those who have recently taken up the sport, it is highly likely that your fitting is not quite right.

There are several reasons for this situation:

• - You changed your bike geometry and attempted to adapt your basic measurements to it without outside help.

• - You are constantly adjusting the fitting your bike.

• - You change your Cleats without paying too much attention.

• - You consulted a specialist who used an outdated technique.

• - You have simply never had a proper fitting

• - You were advised to buy the wrong size for a new bike.

The most interesting thing about ID Match's new fitting system is that it removes much of the subjectivity from the equation in this work, which is done by all kinds of health specialists... with their biases, training, and experiences that vary considerably.

So here, we leave it to the machine and the big data from fitting to do most of the work.

Getting to know each other

That said, just because the machine is more objective does not mean it pays less attention to small details.

On the contrary.

The first step is to fill out a questionnaire, then be "scanned" to accurately determine the length of each of your limbs.

The questionnaire includes sensitive data, in every sense of the word, since this is the moment when we share our discomforts, our past injuries, and more broadly, the pain we feel on the bike. The software will take all of this into account when making its recommendations.

The next step involves a dynamic scan (you lean forward) which analyzes pelvic rotation: this is very important in determining the ideal posture and the best saddle choice.

Finally, another tool allows you to observe how the foot behaves and how its morphology affects pedaling and, therefore, the optimal position of Cleats the shoes.

More if there is mutual attraction

At this stage of fitting , ID Match cross-references all of its data to make a series of recommendations concerning:

• - the cockpit (handlebars and Stem)

• - the ideal length of the Crankset cranks

• - the type of saddle offered (a code that refers to several models from different Saddles brands)

• - Cleats fitting

ID Match also includes a tool that allows you to reproduce the Cleats fitting Cleats by the system on any new pair of shoes. Just come back with your new shoes when you change them.

Real-time settings

Now it's time to compare your current position with the one recommended by ID Match.

Your bike is placed on a measuring device and the data collected here is added to the data concerning your body type.

You then get on the ID Match bike, which starts by copying the fitting your current bike.

Don't be surprised if the device moves at first, and then while you're pedaling: it adjusts to the suggestions made by the algorithm and then checks their effect in real time.

Because during this time, you are being scanned by the same sensor that took your measurements and is now analyzing the angle of your shoulders, elbows, hips, back, knees, etc.

After validating or perhaps slightly modifying your prescription based on the scan obtained while you were pedaling, you finally have your results, which will also be sent to you by email.

Always buy the right bike

While you're at it, we'll adjust everything that needs adjusting on your current bike. Even a few millimeters of saddle height can make a big difference.

If the tool suggests changing to a different saddle model or changing the cockpit (or cranks), it is up to you to decide whether or not you want to make the change.

In any case, you will know exactly what to get for your next bike.

Because ID Match data is linked to that of almost all bicycle manufacturers, you can find out what size you need, regardless of the brand or model.

And it also works for sourcing used items!

You don't have to buy from us. Just tell us which models you're interested in, and we'll provide you with the necessary information.

Finally, with the rise in popularity of integrated systems, you can confidently order the Stem length Stem handlebar width you need. You'll know whether you need a seatpost with a backward tilt, and whether it's time to switch to smaller crankset cranks Cranksetor not. This trend may be good for pros, but it's not necessarily good for you.

That's what's so great about ID Match: you leave as little room for uncertainty as possible, you buy what you need, and you get rid of your aches and pains.
