Bike fitting in Aarau for an optimal riding position
A bike fitting is worthwhile in any case. At Strade Argovia, we offer you the opportunity to take an ultra-precise measurement of your body using the ultra-modern SmartFit system. And this is done within a few minutes and without contact using laser technology. The results provide us with detailed adjustment values and geometry data.
Bikefitting is the most efficient way to get more out of you and your bike. You will not only eliminate pain with a new riding position, but you are also guaranteed to ride faster.
Bike fitting is worthwhile for people who are in pain or simply want to optimise their training and riding position and therefore their performance. Bikefitting can be carried out on your current road or gravel bike.

Who is a bike fitting suitable for?
We are often asked whether a bike fitting is at all suitable for amateur athletes. Or people assume that they "just" have to live with the pain of cycling. The answer to the first question is definitely "YES" and the answer to the second is definitely "NO".
Cycling should be fun, contribute to your health and be as pain-free and powerful as possible. That's why bike fitting is suitable for everyone, from amateur athletes to ambitious racers.
Mission "Correct riding position": The mission is to get you on your bike, taking into account your individual needs, and to enable you to have fun. There should be no pinching anywhere and no numb fingers or toes. Pain on the bike is often caused by an incorrectly adjusted riding position.
How does a bike fitting work?
Every bike fitting starts with a detailed discussion. We want to know and understand your goals and problem areas. The bike fitting always starts with an information sheet, a discussion and a seat position analysis.
Your body and bike are then measured using the latest technology and laser precision with the Smartfit system. Now the interaction between you and your bike begins:
- The bike is mounted on a roller, which you ride on the spot, and we start with a dynamic movement analysis.
- Everything is recorded on video, and with our trained eye we can see directly where things could be tweaked and where there is potential for optimisation.
- We then adjust your bike to the recommended dimensions, especially the seat height and distance as well as the handlebar height are often points that need to be adjusted.
- We also carry out a seat pressure analysis to see whether your current saddle suits you.
- Finally, we take an in-depth look at your shoes and pedal system and check whether the cleats are optimally adjusted or whether there is potential for optimisation.
Once the bike has been adjusted, we make another video with the new seating position so that you can test and feel everything straight away.
Of course, we also provide you with all the information material and documentation about all the changes. If you have been riding for the first time and something is still not quite right, we will of course offer you a readjustment.
