On an MTB, the position changes constantly: seated on climbs, standing on descents, hips pushed back on steep slopes. The bike fit does not look for a single position but for a setup that works in all these situations, with a dropper post used to the full and cleats that do not twist the knee when pedalling out of the saddle.
What to bring: your MTB, your shoes with cleats (or flat pedals), your protective gear if you ride with it.
| Area | Common postural cause |
|---|---|
| Knee | saddle too low on climbs, SPD cleats rotated too far inwards |
| Hands and forearms | handlebar too low or too far forward, braking, lack of shoulder mobility |
| Lower back | long seated climbs with a locked pelvis |
| Neck | position too low in XC |
I treat the pain with osteopathy if needed, then I correct the position so it does not come back. Osteopath for cyclists.
Full bike fit €250, 1.5 to 2 hours, SPD cleats included. Additional bike + €60.

« I went to Gaspard for a bike fit and I was not disappointed! Very calm, composed, attentive, takes his time, excellent advice (a saddle model better suited to my body), ultra-professional equipment. Available afterwards by email or message for questions, very responsive. I went back to see him after the changes he had recommended: there is real follow-up. I highly recommend him, with my eyes closed! »
« Great work by Gaspard! A few hundred kilometres after he reviewed my bike setup and gave me advice on pedalling properly, no more knee or back pain. The way to go if you want to ride for hours without trouble. »
« I went to see Gaspard because I had been suffering from pain in my right knee for over 2 years, especially on the bike. After one osteopathy session and a bike fit, the pain has completely gone. Impressive result, the pleasure of riding back in a single session. Very professional and effective work. I highly recommend him! »

Both. In XC, it targets climbing efficiency. In enduro, it targets control on descents and prevention of hand, shoulder and back pain on long transfers.
On the indoor trainer pedalling out of the saddle and with mobility tests off the bike (ankles, hips, shoulders). The attack position depends first on your mobility.
Yes. The second bike is set up for an extra €60 on the same day.
