Velogic Studio 4 offers up 3D motion capture bike fit and rider analysis

Velogic, a producer of bike fit systems based in New Zealand, released Velogic Studio 4 on January 10, 2024 at CES in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Velogic Studio 4’s new ‘Time of Flight’ camera technology delivers automatic 3D motion capture and a workflow designed to optimize bike fitting time. Accordin to the company… ‘Velogic Studio 4 is the future of integrated cycling analysis, offering better and faster fit experiences for you and your clients.’

The bike fit and cycling analysis solution has together the expertise of Velogic CEO Paraic McGlynn and the company’s Chief Technology Officer, Darren Bruning.

In early 2023, Cyclologic, a specialist in cycling performance analysis, equipment, and education, took an equity stake in Velogic, with Paraic McGlynn joining as Chief Executive Officer. The move combined Cyclologic’s Motion MetriQ cycling-specific video analysis programs with Velogic’s portfolio of products and increased the capability and scale of the merged organizations.

A number of features can be found in the new product offering:

  • Velogic Studio 4’s synchronized dual-sided 3D and video technology employs state-of-the-art time-of-flight Orbbec Femto Mega cameras.
  • The system automatically generates comprehensive metrics – including power, cadence, aerodynamics (coming Q2 2024), pedalling dynamics, and more – for both sides of the body. Comprehensive reports minimize time in the back office, enabling bike fitters to spend more quality time with their clients.
  • Velogic Studio 4 claims to enhance the customer and fitter experience. The 3D data is overlaid on video, providing transparency and engagement in the decision-making process for new bike purchases and updating existing equipment to best fit a client.
  • Velogic Studio 4’s bike documentation wand enables precise measurements of either a fit bike or a client’s current bike; these measurements can be entered into an extensive 18,000 bike database to find fitting solutions.

“Velogic Studio 4 represents the pinnacle of my three decades dedicated to athlete analysis,” said Velogic CEO Paraic McGlynn.

“The seamless integration of synchronized video and cutting-edge 3D technology marks the Holy Grail in the realm of athlete analysis. By combining the nuances of human movement captured in video with 3D data, ANT+ data, aerodynamic metrics, and leveraging an extensive 18,000 bike database, Velogic Studio 4 empowers athletes, teams, coaches, and medical professionals with unparalleled insights and results.”
