Trek Precision Fit is a multi-stage bike fitting system. Based on the knowledge and skills of the so-called bike fitter, the aim is to perfect the customer's riding experience, comfort and performance. Recently, 15 participants from specialist retailers attended a three-day workshop in Zurich.

"The most focused group I've ever had the pleasure of working with," says James Hewitt, biomechanist at Cyclefit UK, who provided scientific support for the use of Trek Fitting tools. The seminar was led by Michael Frank, a fitting expert from Germany. The workshop ranged from anatomical and biomechanical basics to applied bike fitting.

Trek course participants are currently putting what they have learned into practice in their own stores. If the dealer can prove that they have carried out a certain number of fittings, they are listed as a Trek Precision Fit dealer in the online dealer search. Roger Manser from the specialist store Move On in Adliswil recently became the first official Trek Precision Fit dealer in German-speaking countries. "I had my first fitting less than 24 hours after the workshop and less than 48 hours later I was able to pick up the fitting tools from Trek in Zurich. Trek Precision Fit is the start of a new era for me," Manser continues.

After the training premiere, Trek will follow up at the beginning of 2014. The second Trek Precision Fit training course will once again take place in Zurich from January 26-28.
