What does SPEng offer for you?

​

We offer the service for bicycle posture corrections to eliminate the risk of injury and boost your performance on the bicycle. Given that each person is different and that cycling goals are also personal, we can offer a bikefit according to your needs and goals. We can work from looking for performance, aerodynamics, comfort and sustainability on the bike. For that, we conducted an interview and examined the interaction that exists between the cyclist and his bicycle, in order to carry out the evaluation and achieve the necessary changes.

What is the cost and duration of the bike fit session?

A cost of $3,500 MXN is handled for road cycling and/or mtb, where the session takes about 2 to 3 hours. For time trial cycling the cost is $4,500 MXN and it takes between 3 to 4 hours.

• Pre evaluation of the geometry of the bicycle.

• Gear adjustment on the bike.

• Feedback on the different iterations of adjustments.

• Report of the evaluation and the changes made.

*If it is for a session with a time trial bike, it also includes the following:

• 3D scan 

• Scanning and measurement of the frontal area 

• Specific adjustments according to the time trial that will take place.

• Computational review of airflow in the cyclist by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics.
