Every great ride starts with the right position. Strategic Fitting combines decades of experience with advanced 3D motion analysis to create a position optimized for comfort, efficiency, power and control—across road, gravel, triathlon and mountain bikes.
Buying a new bike shouldn't begin with choosing a frame size. We determine your ideal position first, then use those coordinates to select, configure and build the right bike around you—from fit to finish.
Position is only the beginning. Advanced aerodynamic analysis, saddle pressure mapping, equipment optimization and performance-focused refinement allow us to go deeper—balancing aerodynamics, biomechanics and comfort around the individual athlete and their goals.
Professional fitting expertise, delivered wherever you ride.
Approximately 300 online fitting projects completed.
Multiple focused sessions allow changes to be evaluated and refined.
Recommendations based on your position, equipment, goals, and riding history.
Online fitting is conducted through a series of focused sessions. We begin by reviewing your riding history, goals, current equipment, and fit concerns. Using carefully recorded cycling video, rider and bicycle measurements, and a shared project folder, I evaluate your position and guide each adjustment in a controlled sequence.
Most projects involve three to four sessions, allowing time to implement changes, ride the position, and refine the result based on your feedback.
A structured process designed to evaluate your current position, guide meaningful changes, and confirm how those changes perform over time.
Online Bike Fitting & Position Consulting: $300
Riding history, goals, fit concerns, bicycle measurements, equipment review, and guided video collection.
Detailed evaluation of your position, equipment, and movement, followed by clear recommendations and adjustment guidance.
Three to four focused sessions, supported by a shared project folder, allow changes to be tested and refined.
Your new bike should begin with the right position—not a frame selected from a size chart.
Book a New-Bike Fitting to establish your ideal position, evaluate the right bikes and frame sizes, and develop a complete build around how you ride. Strategic Fitting can then source, build, and deliver the finished bicycle—from initial fit through final setup.
Frame size is only the beginning. We evaluate geometry, components, crank length, and cockpit options to identify the bike and configuration that best match your position, goals and riding style.
Your bike is professionally built around your fit coordinates, then finalized with you to ensure the finished bike delivers the position and performance we designed from the start.
Strategic Fitting is built on more than 30 years of experience in professional cycling, bicycle fitting, high-end equipment and bike development. Founder Chris Soden combines that experience with today’s most advanced fitting technology to solve each rider’s individual needs—not simply follow a formula.
Technology provides the data. Experience provides the perspective. Every recommendation begins with understanding the individual rider—their goals, their riding and what they want from the bike. The technology supports the decision; it never replaces experience.
A successful fit is not defined by measurements alone. It is defined by how the rider feels, performs and controls the bicycle in the real world.
Every rider is different. Every solution should be too.
Strategic Fitting is the culmination of more than three decades working with cyclists, bicycles and the evolving science of bike fit. Chris Soden’s experience spans professional fitting, high-end bicycle retail and development, and decades of solving real-world performance and comfort challenges.
30+ YEARS IN CYCLING
FROM FIT TO FINISH
Decades of experience solving real-world positioning, performance and equipment challenges.
Understanding rider position, bicycle geometry, components, equipment and complete-bike solutions.
RESULTS DRIVEN. ATHLETE FOCUSED.
No predetermined formula. The rider, their goals and their physiology determine the solution.
Technology is most powerful when paired with experience. Strategic Fitting combines decades of hands-on knowledge with advanced measurement tools to see, measure and understand what the eye alone cannot.
VelogicFit 3D analysis measures the rider dynamically, providing precise motion data throughout the pedal stroke.
AiRO technology adds real-time aerodynamic measurement, allowing position and equipment choices to be evaluated for both performance and sustainability.
Gebiomized pressure mapping provides objective data on rider-to-saddle interaction, helping refine support, stability and comfort.
The best bicycle starts with the rider—not a frame size or geometry chart.
Strategic Fitting can establish your ideal position first, then use those measurements to guide bicycle selection, geometry, components and equipment.
From initial fit through final assembly and position setup, the result is a bicycle built specifically around you.
