DCF Training System & Instructor

Online Training + In-Person Training = DCF Local Expert

The DCF training course is split into two modules, one online and one in-person. All online modules are provided and assessed centrally by Giant. In-person modules will be given and assessed by the DCF course instructor, who has been personally certified by DCF consultant Niels Heuvelman.

Niels Heuvelman

As one of the first bike fitting system owners, Niels Heuvelman understood the importance of proper bike fit early on—even during his days as a national-level racer. With a background in materials engineering, he has held various roles in the cycling industry, but since 2012, his sole focus has been bike fitting. Niels has collaborated with bike fitters worldwide, sharing insights, gathering data from over 60,000 frames and components, and working with nearly every commercially available fitting system.

Tony Corke

Tony Corke, an IBFI Level 4 fitter and leading educator, has trained over 800 elite fitters worldwide in his unique methods. With over 20 years dedicated to bike fitting, his relentless pursuit of optimization has led him to explore everything from wind tunnels to advanced biomechanics. At Torke Cycling, the focus is on real-world application—every concept is rigorously tested to ensure practical, effective fitting solutions.

John Higgins

John Higgins, an IBFI Level 3 fitter, has over 15 years of experience in bike fitting across retail, independent practice, and industry roles. A seasoned cyclist with a background in racing and gravel riding, he transitioned from outdoor education to bike fitting in 2007. As the owner of BikeFitr and Fit Kit Systems, he trains fitters worldwide while helping riders of all levels optimize comfort and performance.

Rene Munoz

René Muñoz, a cycling biomechanics specialist, has over 16 years of experience fitting riders from recreational to elite levels. A former Retül instructor, he has trained over 1,000 bike fitters and studied physiotherapy, podiatry, and neuromuscular activation. René integrates advanced technology with a holistic approach, believing many cycling issues are solved off the bike through better movement and biomechanics.
