Bike Fiting Box MTB & E-MTB
Description
Fitting Box MTB / E-MTB
- Ride longer in comfort
- Optimal position for efficient pedaling
- Pedal smoother with more power
Buying a new bike in the correct frame size is just the first step to efficient, healthy, and pain-free cycling. To get the most out of your ride, your bike needs to be precisely adjusted to your body measurements, riding style, and preferred terrain. When all three key contact points – saddle, handlebars, and pedals – are perfectly adjusted, you’ll enhance comfort, reduce strain, and even boost your speed.
The Fitting Box MTB / E-MTB is the result of years of research by Ergon ergonomics expert Dr. Kim Tofaute, a specialist in biomechanics and sports ergonomics. His step-by-step guide transforms professional bike-fitting methods into a clear, easy-to-follow adjustment system for everyone. Based on thousands of fittings and deep ergonomic knowledge, this guide helps you achieve your ideal setup – right at home.

THE BRAIN BEHIND THE FITTING BOX – Dr. Kim Tofaute
Dr. Kim Tofaute earned both his diploma and doctorate from the Cologne Sports University, where he co-founded the field of sports ergonomics. A licensed racer and world-class mountain biker, he is one of Europe’s leading experts in ergonomics and bike fitting. As the former head of Ergon’s development team, he is the driving force behind our Fitting Boxes.
THE DIY HANDBOOK – More than just simple instructions
The manual is the core of the Fitting Box. It provides clear, step-by-step instructions along with essential data, illustrations, and tips for achieving the ideal riding position. No prior knowledge of ergonomics or bike fitting is required.
THE FITTING BOX TEMPLATES – Measure accurately, avoid mistakes
The Fitting Box includes four measuring templates and marking stickers that help you take precise, millimeter-accurate measurements. These tools ensure consistent, repeatable adjustments and eliminate guesswork.
THE INCLUDED TOOLS – Everything you need
To apply the templates and follow the manual correctly, the box includes the same basic tools used by professional bike fitters: a plumb bob, a spirit level, and a measuring tape. Everything works together as a complete system for accurate home bike fitting.
Seven Steps to More Comfort
Dr. Kim Tofaute has simplified the adjustment process into seven clear steps. Each explains what to do, why it matters, and how the improved position will feel on the trail.
Positioned for More Efficient Pedaling
When your position is biomechanically optimized, you’ll be healthier, more efficient, and more comfortable. Even a slightly incorrect saddle height can lead to knee, hip, or back strain, wasted energy, and reduced enjoyment. Minor misalignments add up – but with the Fitting Box, they’re easy to fix.
Enjoy Cycling Without Discomfort
Cycling is healthy and fun, but many riders experience issues like saddle discomfort, neck pain, or numb hands and feet. The most common cause is a poorly adjusted bike. Whether you already struggle with these symptoms or want to prevent them, the Fitting Box helps you ride pain-free and enjoy cycling even more.
Your Bike – As Individual as You
Your bike should feel like an extension of your body. For the best performance and most enjoyable ride, the three contact points must be adjusted to your body proportions and riding style. The Fitting Box MTB / E-MTB is designed for both ambitious and casual riders, with tailored tips for every style.
