Specialized and Saxo Bank professional cycling - team up for the perfect fit using software developed by siliconcoach
Two of the top three cycling teams in the word ride Specialized bikes. One of those teams, Saxo Bank, had their bike positions fine- tuned by expert fitters from Specialized using software developed by siliconcoach.
Working to the strict design requirements demanded by Specialized, siliconcoach developed software specifically for the job. The software captures video from two views at the same time and composites them on the screen in real time. The fitter can then look at the video clips with frame by frame accuracy and use the drawing and measuring tools to make sure the fit is dialed in perfectly.
This software is now being used by Specialized retailers around the world to fit all customers to their bikes, just like the Pro’s.
