Dialed v2: The definitive guide to dynamic mountain bike fit

By Lee McCormack

Stop Fighting Your Bike. Start Riding It.

Are you riding a bike that's "your size" but still feels like a handful in the corners? Do you struggle with hand pain, looping out on climbs, or feeling like a passenger when the trail gets steep?

The mountain bike industry has changed. Frames are longer and slacker than ever-but the logic used to fit them hasn't kept up. In Dialed v2, world-renowned skills coach and fit expert Lee McCormack breaks down the "mainstream logic" that keeps riders on bikes that are too big, too long, and fundamentally unbalanced.

Why Dialed v2?

The original Dialed changed how thousands of riders viewed their cockpits. Version 2 is a complete ground-up evolution, featuring all-new metrics, deeper analysis of modern geometry, and the introduction of the DiRT (Dialed Ride Tool) to help you model your perfect setup before you even touch a wrench.

What's Inside:

The RAD System: Master the Rider Area Distance-the secret to perfect leverage. Whether you want a "RAD+" setup for stability or a "RAD-" for technical flickability, you'll learn how to find your specific number.

The Heavy Hands Index (HHI): Learn why your hands hurt and how to fix your weight distribution for "light hands, heavy feet" riding.

The Short Crank Revolution: Discover why the industry-standard 170mm crank might be holding back your power and mobility, and how to find your ideal length.

Sizing Down Like a Boss: Modern bikes are getting huge. Learn why the size chart is often wrong and how to choose a frame based on Reach to regain control.

Handlebar Science: It's more than just width. We dive into Rise, Sweep, Setback, and SHO (Steering-Hands Offset) to perfect your steering arc.

Case Studies for Every Body: From 5'0" to 6'4", see representative fits that prove the system works for all heights and proportions.

Professional Results for Every Rider

Whether you are a pro racer looking for that extra 1% of leverage or a weekend warrior who just wants to stop crashing in the switchbacks, Dialed v2 provides a clear, step-by-step roadmap.
