Torke Cycling Body Positioning
Body Positioning is truly at the heart of our bike fitting process. It’s our time-tested, exclusive approach to discovering what is perfect for you.
We employ a scientific comparative testing process that combines the expertise of our highly skilled visual observation with your carefully guided biofeedback. There is simply no other bike fitting system or method that delivers more precise and consistently outstanding results.
Therefore, anticipate being gently guided through the physical sensation of cycling and gaining an entirely new insight into what suits you best.
We support our top-notch skills with some of the most advanced technology available.
Additionally, we promise to collaborate with you until you are completely satisfied.
Torke Foot Activation
Optimising your shoes is an essential component of maximising your ability to generate powerful pedal strokes, unlock your full potential, and sustain rigorous training without risking injury.
We employ a proprietary methodology that has undergone extensive international testing, consistently revealing each individual’s unique neural and biomechanical pedalling optimisation.
Our process commences with a personalised footbed, meticulously fine-tuning it with precise degrees of cant and millimetres of shim. By striking the perfect balance, we ensure that you remain steady and supported through every mile.
Aerodynamic Services
Going fast on a bicycle requires the ability to exert maximum force on the pedals while minimising aerodynamic resistance. Our process begins with a Body Positioning session to precisely determine your optimal positioning for generating sustained power. Once these power-producing parameters are established, we focus on optimising your position to enhance airflow. Our services are available both in and out of the Wind Tunnel.
- Body Positioning with Aerodynamic Screening
- Aerodynamic Screening for customers who have already had a Body Positioning session on that style of bicycle
- Wind Tunnel Testing

Case Study
Meet Tracey and her Ted James custom titanium touring bicycle.
Tracey has a wealth of experience in cycling, having been an Elite GB Duathlete and a Gold medalist in the world Age Group Triathlon. I feel honoured to have assisted her in getting everything perfect for her new custom titanium @tedjamesdesign touring MTB. Tracey is currently embarking on a mixed terrain bike packing world tour (in stages). She came to me upon Ted’s recommendation (thank you, Ted) because, in her own words:
“I sometimes get some nasty muscle moaning in my right hip after I ride”
We conducted a thorough Torke Cycling Body Positioning session for mountain bikes, during which we performed a functional screening of Tracey to determine her optimal cycling position for MTB cycle touring. Our examination revealed that her previous position had been causing her right hip to exceed its range of motion due to a combination of excessive saddle setback and excessively low handlebars.
Having adjusted her existing bike as far as we could, it was definitely better but still not optimal. However Tracey reported good improvements to her cycling:
“It feels significantly more powerful…”
When Ted had finished her new bike and it was dialled in Tracey got to finally feel what an optimal position feels like. Here is her feedback:
The bike is a dream to ride. I love cycling anyway but, last Wednesday, it had me smiling and happy for a different/odd (but I hope you find understandable) reason.
After having been on a longer than I planned ride (3 hours instead of 90mins-oops! having way too much fun) the day before, I walked a mile home after dropping my car in for MOT and not only was my knee not hurting, my hips were perfectly mobile and pain free!
It’s hard to express what that means Tony.
Can’t thank you enough.
Big respect.

This is why our commitment to exceptional bicycle fitting and expertly crafted custom bicycles burns within us. It’s truly worth every challenge, every ounce of effort, and every year of dedication.
Ted, your dedication to excellence is truly inspiring. Keep up the great work.
Tracey, may your journey be filled with joy and unforgettable moments!
