Road metrics

Reference guide for joint angle, movement quality, and position metrics used in Velogic Studio for road bike fitting.

Our system offers an extensive range of metrics. Using 3D data well requires combining multiple factors in your decision making. Here is some guidance for "orthodox" positions.

Joint Angle Metrics

Metric	Range
Ankle Angle	Average 100-130, range < 30
Knee Angle	Max 140-145, Min >68
Hip Angle	Max 90-105, up to 120 if rider has issues
Shoulder Angle	Average 75-100
Elbow Angle	Average 155-170
Torso Angle	35-40 for Elite, 40-50 general, 50+ rare

Movement Quality Metrics

Metric	Average Range	Good Range
Knee Lateral Travel	<40	<20
Knee Travel Angle	<8	0-2
Hip Vertical Travel	<40	<15
Hip Horizontal Travel	<40	<10
Ankle Swivel	<10	~5
Shoulder Lateral Travel	<40	~20

Position Metrics

Metric	Range (Road)
Knee over foot	0 to -40
Sitting angle	72 to 76

Note: Sitting angle is measured with reference to the bottom bracket, which is established during bike measurement. If you haven't yet taken bike measurements, sitting angle will not be shown.
