In the world of bike fitting, efficiency is the ultimate benchmark. Every movement has an impact, and every asymmetry can make the difference between comfort, performance and wasted energy. That is why we developed Peda.flow: a revolutionary way to map the full dynamics of your pedalling movement in three dimensions.
Biomechanically speaking, the pedal stroke is not a simple up-and-down movement, but a cyclical chain of forces in which multiple muscle groups work together in a complex sequence. The challenge: a smooth, symmetrical and energy-efficient movement with minimal waste and maximum power output.
Peda.flow
What do we measure?
Pedal ellipse and stroke vectors
How smoothly does your movement flow through the entire cycle?
Asymmetries
Is there a structural difference between left and right, or is one side compensating?
Knee-ankle coordination
How does the knee joint move in the sagittal and transverse planes?
Power transfer
Is the energy optimally transferred to the pedals — or is power being lost?
Insight
Why does this matter?
By combining data analysis with biomechanical insights, we optimise crank length, shoe position and pedal angles — until the entire chain is right.
Inside the BikeLab
The measurement, actually captured.
Sample case — real data
Sample case: the power that was being lost
The pedal ellipse made visible where the pedalling motion faltered: an asymmetric distribution of force, corrected with an adjusted crank length and cleat position.
