With the DCF experience we visualize your goals together. By translating the data and insights into actionable measures, we unlock the door to your next performance level.
Dynamic Cycling Fit
The DCF Experience
1. Interview
We start with a detailed interview to understand your riding experience, injury history, and cycling goals. From there, we create a tailored program designed specifically for your needs.
2. Body Dimension Measurement
Your fitter will record your body dimensions multiple times to ensure absolute accuracy.
Height
Arm Length
Inseam Length
Femur Length
Torso Length
Foot Size
3. Physical Assessment
Your fitter will perform a physical assessment and anatomical analysis to determine your unique physique, range of motion and ride capabilities.
Static leg axis test
One leg squat test for stability
Tilt test for flexibility
Hamstring test for flexibility
Hip test for mobility
4.Pedal and Saddle Assessment and Adjustment
Your fitter will measure and analyze your feet and saddle position to find the best positioning on the pedals and saddle for increased comfort and improved power transfer.

2. On-Bike Dynamic Assessment and Adjustment
By inputting your body measurements into the DCF app, our algorithm will provide a starting point for your fit. Your fitter will use this recommended position as a base for adjustments.
Autofit
The DCF app captures your real-time dynamic pedaling movements and on-bike position across various riding scenarios, seamlessly integrating with the DCF Bike Pro.
Riding Scenario Simulation
Your fitter will meticulously observe your pedaling motion in various conditions, making real-time modifications to achieve the perfect bike fit without dismounting.
Comparative Testing & Fine Tuning
The DCF Bike Pro allows fitters to efficiently explore various bike fitting options by providing instant feedback.
Final Position Measurement
After determining the final fitting position, your fitter will take several measurements for the final profile.

Besides taking your foot measurements, your fitter will use a DCF LED Foot Scanner, that utilizes tangential LED lighting to visually determine your arch type: low, medium or high.
2. Insole Model Recommendation
2. Insole Model Recommendation
Based on your foot dimensions, arch height, bike fitting data, and cycling goals, your fitter will recommend the appropriate raw thermoformed insoles designed with a laminated plate and pad offering optimized thickness for comfort and support.
3. Insole Thermoforming and Milling
3. Insole Thermoforming and Milling
You fitter will ask you to stand on DCF VacuForm Insole Tool to custom form the insole 100% perfectly to your foot. Your fitter will then mill the insole to make sure the custom insole fits your shoes firmly.
