Understanding and adapting to bike geometry is science and art came from decades of riding an extensive range of bikes and having in-depth knowledge on human physiology, Kinematics (body in motion) and a proven track record of fitting thousands of cyclists from all walks of life.

This Roadbike specific fit helped a major number of amateurs to taste the thrill of road biking to the finest levels - be it for endurance rides, Brevets, expeditions or just weekend group rides. We put our engineering and medical science skills to perfection on this important session, while walking you through the process with crucial guidance.

One of the most common problems people often face due to lack of awareness (even by people who are cycling for a long time) is that they would have often served with an ill-fitted or wrong sized bike in major cases as shops that sell bicycles are not fully knowledgeable enough to take time and spend hours of time in bike sizing and bike fitting - simply due to lack of awareness/interest/skills/feasibility in a highly commercialized market place. Due to these, cyclists often ends up in lack of interest, performance or injuries as they are not able to adapt to the bike they purchased, with great interest and paying very premium costs. No matter whether a bike costs millions of money or is made by a Tour De France winning brand, unless the bike is fitting and fitted for a person with the most knowledgeable way, enjoying the sports becomes purely a luck game.

Bicycle sizing is weird and highly varies from brand to brand, there are no consistencies or standards across brands and models as each can vary with extremely identical looks, but has extremely different internal geometry and feel. A bike "feels" completely different for a person than someone else feels it as everyone has a different threshold for taking the stress and outputting power and more importantly interest and handling various stress and handling skills of surroundings.

It takes decades of practice, understanding the engineering, design, anatomy of the human body, athletics knowledge and more importantly doing thousands of well-proven, result-oriented BikeFit practices in own life and also with other clients to get confidence and create meaningful results on BikeFits. It's no longer doing few angle settings or inspecting the usual "Knee Over The Spindle" principle that makes the definition of a BikeFit. The Fit is as good as the Fitter's knowledge, personal interest to solve problems and apply great theories learned in life.

We at Cycling Boutique is experienced in cycling as our major part of life revolves around cycling and we are here for cycling, dedicating our lives to cycling, at the same time learning and sharpening our knowledge base, far far beyond what typical business houses have to do or attempt doing!

Fee breakup
Rs 6900 + GST @18%


*Pricing Guidance: Our BikeFit tariff takes extremely laborious and precision analysis which requires a high level of knowledge, application, multi-person labour efforts, highly expensive precision tools, licensing, and continuous upgradations of international credentials and upgrades. In spite, our pricing is comparatively very economic as an equivalent and lesser attention to detail, quick entry-level session BikeFit in the rest of the world can easily cost upwards of USD 400 (Rs 30,000 or higher) for an even low profile 1-hour session with each follow-up session with attached costs. Our session can go 1-3 hours or more, depending on the care needed and our prices are the most economic, but with definite results. No wonder we get even international visitors to our BikeFit sessions due to the cost-effectiveness.

* The BikeFit charges are on an approximation. If the BikeFit takes more effort and time than originally planned, additional charges might incur towards the BikeFit session.
* The BikeFit charges are applicable for one session of BikeFit on a single day. If any follow-up sessions are requested, additional charges will have to be paid, as per later communications.
* During the BikeFit, to make you fit on the stock bike, we might be recommending any bike component changes, which might require additional purchase/costing. We strongly suggest getting the required changes done on the same BikeFit session as it will save considerable time and effort to implement the changes and do the necessary corrections. Any changes which are postponed by you to a future time/date will attract a flat BikeFit session recalling/re-setup fee of Rs 500 as it causes inconveniences to the schedules.
* The BikeFit process is aligned to accommodate one bicycle. If the Fit has to be transferred or applied on another bike, a default charge of Per Roadbike at Rs 1100 + GST 18% or Per Triathlon/TT Bikes at Rs 2500 + GST 18%. will be applied, irrespective of the original Bikefit bike type selected / paid for. Kindly note that TT and other bikes like road bikes/Hybrid etc. have major differences, which commands more time and effort.

* Number of bikes to be analysed, suggested if required to be Bikefitted in the right way possible, is limited to one bike. Any minor adjustment or tweaking required in sizing adjustment will be free of cost within 2 weeks from the date of BikeFit.

* After 2 weeks, any future mechanical additions, fitting, installations, etc., will be at the actual labor charges.

* Post BikeFit if any new bike purchase decisions etc. arrive ahead (say, e.g., identification of wrong bike size, etc.), if the bike purchase is going to be from any third-party supplier/store, any follow-up work on new bike size identification, mechanical fitting, Bike fitting, etc., will be charged as per the standard charges for these services.

* Any major works involving laborious tasks like removal/reinstallation of internal cable routing, hydraulic disc brake shortening/bleeding, etc., will be charged as per actuals.

* Mechanical tuneup of the bikes will not be in the shop of a BikeFit session. Our free mechanical assessment of bikes is usually provided at a free cost if the time permits and there is the bandwidth to do so. Our precision mechanical tuneup services are often opted for by many customers who understand the significance of precision assembly/tune-ups. If you plan to check the mechanical aspects of the bike, kindly prepare well in advance as these additional works may take time to get done, as per the time slot availability of our workshop.

* Shoes fitting, if it needs to be done, we will assist in getting it installed free of cost at the time of BikeFit day. Any installation, if it has to be done later, will be at par with the shoe fitting charges at the store.

More importantly:

* BikeFit is not a magic pill. It's a process to follow standard theoretical experience to a person riding a bicycle to maximally assist him/her to ride better and effectively. Each individual has their own capabilities, anomalies and interest in cycling which determines how they enjoy the sport well. We assist to do the BikeFit process to apply the theory of riding better, with better body posture and riding techniques. Each individual may take their own time and pace to get any results of a BikeFit process, purely depending on the person's abilities (means a BikeFitter have only a role as a mentor to transfer the knowledge to the person undergoing a BikeFit process).
* If the person undergoing a BikeFit is already have existing physiology related troubles or injuries etc. we always suggest to do a gradual progression with the new BikeFit positions and recover slow and steady form with great patience and injury healing routines.
* If the person is continue using wrong Bike Sizes etc, even post BikeFit session, the effectiveness of BikeFit progression could be slower or non-effective. Always take our suggestions and advices in these cases, on safer progressions ahead.
