TLDR
Pressure mapping reveals exactly how your body interacts with the bike saddle. It prevents discomfort, reduces saddle sores, improves performance, and saves money by eliminating trial-and-error equipment purchases. Book a session and ride pain-free.
The problem: small misalignments, big consequences
Ever feel like your bike fights you instead of working with you? Tiny misalignments in saddle height, tilt, or setback can cause numb hands, saddle sores, knee strain, and back pain. Most cyclists waste money chasing comfort with new saddles, stems, or handlebars without knowing the real cause.
Pressure mapping shows in real time where your weight and pressure sit on the saddle. Instead of guessing, you see data that reveals the truth. A single fit session can save you thousands by cutting out the endless buy-and-try cycle.
Endurance riders racing events like Cape Epic or Munga rely on pressure mapping bike fits to stay pain-free during long hours in the saddle. Even if you only ride on weekends, those kilometres add up. Why not make every ride as smooth and painless as possible?
Every body tells a story
No two riders are the same. A slight leg length difference, a tilted hip, or weak glutes can all affect how you sit and pedal.
Generic setups miss these details. Pressure mapping finds them. The system highlights imbalances that can cause back pain, knee strain, or nerve irritation. With the data, adjustments are made to reduce stress and protect your body for the long run.
Saddle comfort is non-negotiable
Saddle sores are every rider’s nightmare. Often the cause is simple: you’re not sitting on your sit bones. Instead, pressure builds on soft tissue.
Pressure mapping shows exactly where you sit and whether your saddle height, tilt, or setback needs a tweak. Even a few millimetres can change everything. From power transfer to comfort to endurance. Small changes make big gains.
You’re not a time trial pro. And that’s fine
Elite racers ride in extreme aerodynamic positions. Saddles pushed forward, bars slammed low. It works for them because their bodies and goals are different.
For most cyclists, those aggressive setups create pain and injury. Pressure mapping helps you find your best balance between power, comfort, and sustainability. That means strong rides without sacrificing comfort.
The domino effect of bike geometry
Change one thing and everything else moves. Adjusting saddle height affects hip angle, knee position, and even hand pressure.
Pressure mapping is both art and science. It ensures each adjustment is precise and in harmony with your body, instead of causing new problems.
Your bike, your body, your perfect fit
Think of a bike fit like a tailored suit. Off-the-shelf might look okay, but a custom fit is where performance and comfort meet.
Pressure mapping takes your body, your riding style, and your goals, and turns them into a fit that’s truly yours. The result: fewer injuries, more comfort, and more joy on every ride.
A professional fit isn’t a cost. It’s an investment in the best version of your cycling.
Frequently asked questions
What is pressure mapping?
Pressure mapping measures how your weight is distributed on the saddle, highlighting high-pressure areas and guiding adjustments for comfort and efficiency.
Does it help with saddle sores?
Yes. Pressure mapping ensures you sit correctly on your sit bones, reducing tissue pressure and preventing sores.
Can it improve performance?
Absolutely. A balanced fit reduces wasted energy and increases power transfer for longer, stronger rides.
Is it only for professional cyclists?
No. Everyday riders benefit as much as elite athletes. Comfort, injury prevention, and efficiency matter at every level.
How precise is it?
Even millimetres matter. Pressure mapping detects tiny differences to make your bike fit highly customised.
