DFU - Dynamic Fitting Unit by GURU

TCR Sport Lab has the DFU

  

After two years of testing and engineering, GURU Cycles Inc. has finalized the development of the first computerized robotic assisted bicycle fitting system. With our patented drivetrain, motors, actuators and proprietary software; Guru has revolutionized the fit process by drastically increasing efficiency and by creating an interactive experience for the client.

The DFU™, manipulates the rider's position while he or she is pedaling. The software, based on the client's body morphology, suggests a starting position for the fitter in using XY coordinates. The Guru trained fitter then adjusts the fit down to the millimetre in order to achieve a perfect fit, which is optimized for power, cadence, position and most of all, comfort.

At no point does the instructor or fitter ever have to ask the rider to disembark from the unit to change positions of handlebars, pedals or seat position. The actuators take care of all of these actions automatically

The following points sum up the technical and cutting edge advantages of The DFU™:

  • Our proprietary software and the custom GUI (graphic user interface), allow micro-adjustments (by the millimetre) to the rider's XY position, which are displayed on screen for both the rider and fitter to see.

  • Allows the fitter to optimize the rider's position in real time while monitoring power output (watts), heartrate, and spin analysis ("Computrainer" required for monitoring wattage, heartrate and spin).

  • Utilizes a quick change system for handlebar and saddle changes allowing you to explore different ergonomic options.

  • The DFU™can accommodate riders from 1.4m (4'7") to 2.10m (6'11")tall.

  • Multiple fits for a single individual can be captured, saved, and revisited at any time and are displayed at the base of your screen. A fitter can then quickly toggle between stored fit positions simply by selecting them. The actuators will then automatically move the rider back to that position.

  • DFU alllows the TCR fitter to gather more fit data in less time than conventional static fit bikes.

  • Each fit is consistent and always perfect. .

  • The DFU™ stores multiple individual fit profiles.
