Bike and Frame sizing choice

Cycling happiness starts with the right size bike!
Don’t be fooled by online sizing charts, innerseam formulas or sales people peddling a glittering bike that is “perfect for you size” after taking a hasty set of measurements.

All cyclists are highly individual and the right sized bike is a 100% dependent on your background, strengths, weaknesses, injuries and experience rather than a measurement.

Bike sizing using the Wattbike
To test and confirm your perfect road, triathlon, gravel or urban bike size, we use a professional-grade Wattbike at le lab cycling, Nice.
Using a series of muscular tests we have devised for clear muscle indication and around 15-20 minutes of varied pedaling cycles (nothing too hard!), at the end of the session we will have a clear starting point for choosing the frame, geometry, brand and bike shop that can deliver the correct bike for you.
