Body Bike Trail

Bike setup is critical

Above all, correct bike setup is vital for optimal muscle recruitment, development of the right muscles and firing patterns, and the prevention of injuries and conditions associated with incorrect positioning. Mountain biking by nature places increased demands on muscles and joints due to the irregularities of the trail. The entire body must work to balance out these significant forces and endure stresses that are irregular and unnatural.

For these reasons the correct bike setup is paramount as your riding volume increases and the potential gains and risks from your increased activity rise exponentially. To manage these atypical demands, your bike fit will be optimised to deal with the rigors of the trail as well.

The anatomical benefit peak performance and increased riding enjoyment of a correct bike fit should not be considered as only for those riding at an elite level.
