Aerodynamics Starts with
Your Position on the Bike

Your body creates the majority of drag while cycling, making your position on the bike one of the most important factors in your overall speed. But aerodynamics isn’t just about getting lower—it’s about finding a position that allows you to produce power efficiently, maintain control, and ride comfortably for longer.

A well-balanced fit helps you naturally settle into a more aerodynamic posture without forcing you into an extreme position that sacrifices performance or comfort. By refining key aspects of your setup—like saddle position, handlebar reach, and cleat alignment—you can improve efficiency and make the most of every pedal stroke. The best position isn’t just fast; it’s sustainable. Whether you’re racing, riding for fitness, or chasing personal bests, finding the right balance between aerodynamics, power, and comfort ensures you can perform at your best mile after mile.

Faster, Smoother, More Efficient Riding Starts with Fit

A Well-Optimized Position Supports Natural Aerodynamic Gains

1. Less Drag, More Speed

Reducing your frontal profile through a more efficient position helps you move through the air with less resistance—meaning faster speeds without extra effort.

2. Maximized Power Output

An effective fit ensures your muscles work efficiently, so you can generate power while staying in a lower, more streamlined position.

3. Sustainable Riding Posture

A properly fitted position supports your back, shoulders, and arms, allowing you to hold an aerodynamic posture without excessive strain or fatigue.

4. Adaptability for Any Rider

Whether you’re riding long distances, training for events, or just looking to improve efficiency, a balanced fit allows you to optimize your position for your specific needs.

5. Better Handling and Stability

A well-fitted bike improves weight distribution, so you stay in control while descending, cornering, and riding in different conditions.

AVOIDING THE MISTAKES THAT CAN HURT SPEED AND COMFORT

A Fast Position is Only Fast
if You Can Hold It

Many cyclists assume that getting lower and more aggressive on the bike is the key to speed. But if your fit isn’t dialed in, that aggressive position can actually make you slower by reducing power output, increasing fatigue, or causing discomfort that forces you to sit up more often.

A position that’s too stretched out can lead to instability and excess upper-body tension. A saddle that’s too high or too low can reduce pedaling efficiency, making it harder to hold an aerodynamic tuck. And if your reach isn’t optimized, you might struggle with numb hands, a sore neck, or limited control on the bike.

Instead of forcing an extreme posture, start with a position that works for your body. A balanced fit allows you to naturally adopt a more aerodynamic stance—one that you can sustain for longer and use to its full advantage.

The Building Blocks of a Faster, More Efficient Position

Saddle
Height

The right saddle height helps prevent excess movement and encourages a stable, efficient pedaling motion.

Saddle Fore/Aft
Position

Subtle shifts forward or backward can improve balance, making it easier to hold a low, controlled riding position.

Handlebar
Reach & Drop

Optimizing your reach ensures you stay comfortable while reducing wind resistance—without compromising control

Cleat Position &
Foot Alignment

Proper cleat alignment promotes efficient pedal strokes and prevents unnecessary strain, helping you maintain a steady pedaling dynamic.

Upper-Body
Posture

Relaxed shoulders, a neutral spine, and proper weight distribution reduce drag while keeping you comfortable over long efforts.

Excellent & Professional

Excellent and professional fitting experience with all the convenience of being at home

~ Shannon F.

Easy to get set up and great support

Really helped improve my performance. Easy to get set up and great support from team.

~ Nick P.

So much more convenient

I am very satisfied with the results, and it was so much more convenient to ride at home and upload videos than having to go to a bike shop for a professional fit.

~ Kate M.

I knew I had to go all in

I was skeptical about an AI-driven bike fit, but after using MyVeloFit has me lower, longer, & more comfortable than I’ve ever been before.

As an online retailer of bikes, ensuring our customers get the right bike size and fit can be a challenge. That’s why we partnered with MyVeloFit. Supported by MyVeloFit, our customers benefit from an independent sizing assessment—and a unique fit score across a range of bikes—to get the most out of their rides.

~ Nomad Frontiers (retailers)

Incredible!

Your tracking analysis software is incredible by the way, we’re trying to use dartfish and it jumps around all the time.

~ Nick Harris (Coach)

Astonishing!

What you have developed is astonishing!

~ Pete Pastides. (Browlee Fitness)

Works really, really well

Their [MyVeloFit] stuff is really, really, good and works really, really well”

~ Tim Cusik (BaseCamp)

An Excellent Product!

I have been using myvelofit for just over one year in a large bicycle retail shop and I do about six to eight fittings per week. It is an excellent product that in the hands of an experienced fitter generates very in depth information about riding position and ranges of motion, comparable to other fit systems such as Retul.

FAQs

1Does MyVeloFit provide aerodynamic testing or specific aero recommendations?

No, MyVeloFit does not provide aerodynamic testing or specific recommendations about aerodynamics. Our focus is on helping you achieve an efficient, sustainable position based on your mobility and biomechanics. While improving your fit can naturally lead to a more aerodynamic posture, we recommend pairing bike fit adjustments with other aero testing methods, like field testing or the Chung method, if you’re specifically optimizing for aerodynamics.

2Will a more aerodynamic position always mean more discomfort?

Not if it’s built around your body’s needs. A good fit gradually refines your position, allowing you to lower your posture while maintaining power and comfort.

3What’s the best way to start improving my aerodynamics?

Focus on the fundamentals first: optimize your saddle height and reach, then fine-tune your position with small, incremental changes. If aerodynamics is a top priority, consider combining fit adjustments with aerodynamic field testing.

4How often should I update my fit?

Anytime your riding goals, flexibility, or fitness level changes. A well-optimized fit evolves with you over time.

5Can one bike fit work across different types of cycling?

Each discipline—whether road, gravel, or triathlon—typically requires a different fit based on the demands of the bike and riding style. However, how similar or different these positions should be depends on your goals. Some riders prefer to maintain a consistent position across multiple bikes for familiarity and comfort, while others may optimize each fit separately to maximize performance in specific conditions. The key is finding the right balance between efficiency, comfort, and handling for each setup.

How It Works:
Refining Your Fit for Better Aerodynamics

Step 1

Establish Your
Fit Baseline

Start by assessing your current comfort, efficiency, and posture on the bike.
Identify any discomfort or inefficiencies—do you feel too stretched? Too cramped?
A good fit should feel balanced and sustainable, not forced or uncomfortable.

Step 2

Adjust Your
Saddle Position

Set your saddle height to optimize leg extension and avoid rocking hips or inefficient pedaling.
Check your saddle fore-aft position to ensure proper weight distribution—too far forward or backward can affect control and posture.
Small changes here set the foundation for improved aerodynamics.

Step 3

Optimize Your Handlebar
Reach & Drop

Once your saddle position is dialed in, adjust your handlebar reach and drop.
Ensure your back and shoulders are in a relaxed, natural position rather than overly hunched or stretched.
Avoid extreme handlebar positions—comfort and stability come first before an aggressive aero stance.

Step 4

Fine-Tune Cleat Position
& Pedal Stroke

Proper cleat alignment ensures efficient power transfer and reduces excess movement that can disrupt aerodynamics.
A smooth, consistent pedal stroke contributes to a steady upper body, reducing drag.

Step 5

Test & Adjust
Over Time

Ride in different conditions to evaluate your adjustments.
If you notice discomfort or instability, make incremental changes rather than drastic shifts.
Reassess as your fitness, flexibility, and riding goals evolve—a bike fit isn’t static, it grows with you.
