New Bike Compare Feature: Precise Measurements of Two Bikes on One Screen The Bike Compare platform, known for its intuitive bike geometry comparisons, is introducing a feature that significantly expands its capabilities. Now, users can take precise measurements directly on the visualization of two bikes being compared – quickly, conveniently, and with surgical precision. This tool was created for those who want to not only analyze geometry tables but also see and measure differences in the actual frame layout, point by point.

Precise Measurement with the New Crosshair Cursor The heart of this new feature is a special crosshair cursor that allows you to measure:

vertical sections,
horizontal sections,
diagonal sections, i.e., any distance between two points. This allows the user to check, for example:
difference in stack height,
practical reach length,
distance between the saddle and handlebar,
differences in chainstay length,
and even their own, non-standard measurements not included in manufacturer tables.

How it works: simple and intuitive The new measurement system is based on three clicks:

First click – set the starting point The user selects the first measurement point, e.g., the center of the bottom bracket, the end of the seat tube, or any frame component.
Second click – set the end point The second click marks the end of the measured section. The system immediately displays the line length in pixels or conversion units (depending on the tool settings).
Third click – delete the measurement The third click resets the measurement, allowing you to start a new one – without having to search for additional buttons.

The entire process works instantly and requires no training. This is a tool that you simply "get a feel for" from the first use. Opis obrazu Panning and Zooming: Full Image Control To ensure the most precise measurements, two key navigation features have also been added: Panning (Image Panning) Simply switch the cursor to the "hand" to freely pan the view. This is especially useful when measuring details or working on large screens.

Mouse Wheel Zoom The mouse wheel allows for smooth:

zooming in – when you want to set a point with single-pixel precision,
zooming out – to see the overall layout of the bikes. This allows the user to work at both the macro and micro levels.

Why is this feature so important? The new measurement system in Bike Compare opens up completely new possibilities:

allows you to visually understand the differences between bikes, not just read them,
enables custom measurements not found in manufacturer charts,
helps with choosing a frame size, especially when comparing a bike you already own with a new model,
supports bikefitters, dealers, and enthusiasts who want to work with real frame proportions.

This is a step towards more advanced, yet still accessible, bicycle geometry analysis.

Summary The new measurement functionality in Bike Compare is a tool that significantly enhances the value of the entire platform. It combines ease of use with high precision, giving users full control over the analysis of two compared bikes.

Thanks to crosshair, panning, and zooming, everyone can now measure exactly what they want – quickly, intuitively, and visually clearly.
