Cycling Mechanics Analysis

3 photos of cyclists

The HSS Cycling Mechanics Analysis is a biomechanical assessment, not a bike fit, that aims to identify factors leading to performance deficits and injury risk in endurance cyclists or triathletes of any age or skill level. This analysis can benefit any type of cyclist, whether you’re an endurance athlete, commuting to work, or team sport athlete, to help reduce the risk of injury and/or improve performance.

This comprehensive analysis includes:

  • Musculoskeletal assessment to identify any flexibility, stability, or strength limitations that may impact your cycling
  • Dartfish 2-D Video analysis utilizing state-of-the-art software to capture your form from various angles  
  • Comprehensive report highlighting relevant findings and personalized recommendations to make improvements
  • Option to return for a discounted 60 minute follow up training session with one of our exercise physiologists

Please note, cyclists interested in the Cycling Mechanics Analysis should be able to cycling for at least 30 minutes continuously, pain-free, and be comfortable either installing your bike on a Wahoo Kickr Indoor Trainer or using our in-house Lode Bike with your pedals and specs. 

Benefits include:

  • Improved cycling mechanics by addressing limitations in strength, mobility, and/or variables concerning body on the bike 
  • Identification of mechanics that may contribute to biomechanical injury risk or discomfort, as well as performance
  • Customization of an individualized home exercise program

Cycling Mechanics Assessment: $350
