The bikefitting.com Pedal Analysis XY Tool is a precision professional fitting instrument designed for certified bike fitters. It captures exact X/Y coordinates of saddle and handlebar positions relative to the bottom bracket, feeding real-time data wirelessly into the Shimano Dynamics Lab software to deliver a scientifically grounded, reproducible bike fit for every rider.

Highlights

• Precise XY coordinate capture: Measures saddle and handlebar positions relative to the bottom bracket centre, enabling exact position documentation and replication across any bike.
• Bluetooth data transfer: Transmits captured coordinates directly to the bikefitting.com software at the touch of a button — no manual entry, no transcription error.
• Seamless software integration: Works within the Shimano Dynamics Lab / bikefitting.com platform, where data can be displayed as XY coordinates or converted to traditional dimensions such as saddle height and saddle-to-handlebar distance.
• Part of the Pedal Analysis system: The XY Tool is an essential component of the bikefitting.com 3D Pedalling Analyser package, enabling fitters to cross-reference positional data with real-time pedal force and stroke efficiency metrics.
• Reproducible results: Documented XY positions allow a rider's optimised fit to be precisely transferred to any bike in a database of more than 35,000 models, regardless of individual frame geometry.
• Professional-grade accuracy: Engineered for authorised bikefitting.com dealers and certified fitters who require objective, measurement-backed evidence to support fitting recommendations.

How It Works

In the bikefitting.com coordinate system, the bottom bracket centre is the fixed reference point (origin). The XY Tool locates the saddle rail centre and handlebar centre in relation to this point, establishing the rider's cockpit geometry in absolute terms. These measurements are transmitted via Bluetooth to the bikefitting.com software, where they can be overlaid with 3D pedalling force data from the Pedal Analysis module to produce a comprehensive, evidence-based fitting report.

Professional Use & Licensing

The XY Tool is sold as a component of the bikefitting.com Pedal Analysis system and requires a valid Pedalling Analysis software licence (sold separately through Shimano's authorised bikefitting.com dealer network). Use of the full system — including 3D power measurement with independent left/right leg data, real-time cleat adjustment feedback, and fitting documentation — is reserved for trained, authorised bikefitting.com fitting professionals.

Compatibility & Fit

Compatible with the bikefitting.com Pedal Analysis system and Shimano Dynamics Lab software. Requires an active bikefitting.com Pedalling Analysis licence. This tool is intended for professional use by authorised bikefitting.com dealers only. For purchasing enquiries, contact your Shimano sales representative.
