REAL Simple, Intuitive, Powerful Real. When we set out to define the bikefitting.com toolset engineered by Shimano Dynamics Lab, these were a few of the stand out priorities we wanted to achieve. We delivered. At Shimano, we recognize the need for world class technology delivered and wrapped in simplicity. Each intuitive tool was thoughtfully developed and evolved from understanding the needs of the end user, the bicycle dealer with minimal bike fitting knowledge, all the way to an advanced level cycling analyst. We take world class hardware, powerful software, combined with legendary Shimano expertise and decades of bikefitting.com knowledge to simplify and demystify the bike fitting process for the dealer and consumer alike. Simple, Intuitive, Powerful Real.

REAL POWER 3D Pedaling Analyzer Our 3D Pedaling Analyzer is industry leading. Visualize real time left and right pedaling forces in 3 dimensions to deliver effective force ratio and braking loss data. This new and unique information guides the fitter to analyze and improve pedaling performance of the rider. REAL power for the fitter.
REAL POSITION Static Fitting The standard measurement tool can be utilized as a standalone solution or the starting point and foundation of the total bike fitting session. It offers consistent repeatable results in an efficient ten measurement process. Graphical User Interface Real force vectors right at the pedal. Our GUI helps to visualize what really happens at the pedal hundreds of times per revolution in REAL time. Visualize, record and analyze with new and unique data that define the real effective force ratio of the rider by taking into account the radial and tangential forces at the pedal. Truly define real power on the pedal. Using the output from the measurement process, the algorithms select the best combinations of bicycles or frames from the most established bicycle selection database available. Decades in service, this system is the foundation and has been at the core of our business since the start and we keep growing. We know bikes. Effective Force Ratio defined The effective force ratio is the net resultant force sum of tangential forces on the crank on the left and right side. All effective forces are measured and displayed independently in the left and right crank arms, combining to provide a clear picture of the effective force ratio. With this objective tool, the fitter can confidently analyze and identify potential problems or imbalances. The fitter can provide direction to improve pedaling effectiveness by modifying cleat setup, insole function, bike fit. Force Distribution on Pedal Axis The force measurement on the pedal axis is an average of the load distance distributed over the pedal axle through a 360 degree pedal revolution from the pedal center. This information can objectively help in improving the foot shoe pedal interface and substantially increase foot stability and balance on the bike. By objectively improving good pedal mechanics, the fitter can create the foundation for a successful fit session.
Position Simulator Shimano Dynamics Lab technology engineers have pushed the envelope to develop an adjustable position simulator that integrates leading edge technology, exceptional stability and legendary Shimano durability. Standard features include; precision adjustability, quick change seat post and handlebar clamp, integrated 3D pedalling analyser and XY copy tool. Real features that set the new industry benchmark in fit bike technology. Fast, accurate, stable, no compromise.
REAL MOTION Dynamics Fitting Shimano Dynamics Lab technology allows us to take the static fit to the next level. Incorporate body specific issues, range of motion, flexibility and riding style in order to further optimise the static fit. Our 3D motion analyzer and software is simple and intuitive, empowering the fitter with ease of use, accuracy, and speed. Our 3D motion analyzer captures real time dynamic movement to increase objectivity, speed and efficiency of the analysis process, to further enhance our static measurement tool. In wizard mode, our software brings built in expertise and logic to the fitter to enhance and improve the consistency of their cycling analysis service. In advanced mode, access to all the datasets are made available to fine tune the sweet spot of the rider. The digital frame geometry plug-in will provide accurate recommendations of bikes and components fitting the need of the rider.
