2021 bikes coming to SPORTFIT LAB! Today we feature the new GRAVEL bikes coming from our suppliers. These bikes are designed to do it all -- they are light, fast on the road, and strong enough to handle rough off-road terrain. The Orbea Terra is a marvel of Spanish bike knowledge, available in carbon or aluminum variants. The carbon Terra can be custom-painted your choice of colors (and custom equipped) in Orbea's MyO personalization program -- at no extra charge! The Look 765 Gravel is a carbon bike from the same French brand ridden by Greg LeMond, and features a relaxed riding position for more comfort while conquering either tarmac or gravel. The Fuji Jari comes in carbon or aluminum models, and is priced for great value in top technology. The Ventum GS1 is a connoisseur's gravel bike -- built with carbon, it retains the aerodynamics and speed of a road race bike. Don't wait! With the pandemic bike shortage, these bikes will be sold as soon as they are available. Do your pre-fitting today on our GURU dynamic fitting machine, so you can reserve your bike well in advance: http://www.sportfit-lab.com/bike-fitting.html

2021 bikes coming to SPORTFIT LAB! Today we highlight the new AERO race bikes from our top suppliers. The LOOK 795 BLADE RS is an incredible upgrade to the already highly touted 795. Look has taken the aero 795, which also absorbs shock like no other aero machine, and dropped 20% of the weight from the frame!! No more do you have to sacrifice light weight to get superior aerodynamics -- this new 795 Disc will do it ALL...top speed, long distance comfort, climbing weight. On top of that, LOOK has dropped the price! These bikes will be coming in soon -- reserve now as they are already being taken. The Orbea Orca Aero is carried over from 2020, and is still fully customizable in the MyO program: choose your colors and components for a personal ride! The Fuji Transonic is updated for 2021: lighter and faster, it retains the great value it has always been. The Ventum NS1 is the road bike from the aerodynamic masters at Ventum, who reinvented the triathlon bike with their Ventum One. Light, stiff, and VERY fast, it is a true race bike for the fast rider! Contact us today for your pre-fitting for any of these bikes, at www.sporfit-lab.com -- where every bike fits perfectly!

2021 bikes are coming! Today we feature 2021 lightweight race bikes coming to Sportfit Lab. These are some of the lightest carbon bikes in the world, designed to accelerate quickly up even the steepest climbs. The Orbea Orca M21eLTD shown is one of seven Orca models; this one features SRAM's amazing 12-speed eTap shifting. And all Orbea carbon bikes can be customized -- choose your paint colors at NO EXTRA CHARGE and your preferred components with the MyO program. The Look 785 Huez is a marvel of French lightweight carbon technology, starting at just $3,000 for the Shimano 105 version shown. The Fuji SL is another incredibly light frame, designed in the U.S. Don't wait too long -- bike reservations are going early this year.

2021 bikes are coming! Today we feature 2021 triathlon bikes coming to Sportfit Lab. These are dedicated time trial machines, with the latest technology and superior aerodynamics for the fastest bike speeds possible. Orbea's new Ordu (green/black) will feature disc brakes, a new aerobar height adjustment system (as easy as adjusting seat height), and aerodynamic tool-kit and hydration systems. Ceepo's Shadow (now available) is a disc-brake rocket that eliminates the seat tube for maximum aerodynamic effect. The new Fuji Norcom Straight will have disc brakes and electronic shifting. The Ceepo Katana Disc is incredibly light for use in hilly as well as flat triathlons. Don't wait until 2021 -- get fitted on our Guru machine this fall, so your bike can be ordered, built, fitted, and tested by next spring: http://www.sportfit-lab.com/bike-fitting.html

We love getting cyclists to more comfortable and powerful performance on their bikes: this is our dedication to scientific bike fitting. The latest testimonial: "Thank you again. Rides on Sunday and Monday were the first I can recall — ever — during which I didn’t experience back pain. Also no knee pain. I almost cried happy tears after 50-mile ride on Monday. Also, no soreness in lower back or knees the next day, either.). Today’s trainer session I was able to remain comfortable in the drops — and hold consistent power output — for about 7 minutes while pushing at 90% FTP. All without any pain. Before I could manage maybe 3 minutes." -- MW, road cyclist. See our fitting page at http://www.sportfit-lab.com/bike-fitting.html for many other testimonials from successful cyclists and athletes.

Scientific bike fitting services by Doug Baumgarten, M.S., sports scientist and certified SICI & FIST professional bike fitter. More speed, more endurance, less pain!

Wow! Two more awesome Orbea creations from SPORTFIT LAB, where every bike is a perfect fit! First is the new Orbea Orca OMX, the latest pro tour race machine — combining light weight and integrated aerodynamics into one blazing fast package. This blue/black creation was designed by the customer in the Orbea MyO program: custom paint, choice of components (SRAM Force eTap AXS here), and abstract fork design.
Next is the rugged but light Orbea Terra carbon, with new Shimano GRX shifting. The radical yellow/green/blue/black color combo is a winner! With Vittoria 38mm tires, this gravel bike is ready to go anywhere fast — on road or off.
Get your new Orbea bike at SPORTFIT LAB, from road race to gravel to triathlon to lightweight e-bike. We make sure the bike fits like a glove, and also fits your budget.
