Neue Schule Bit Sizer
The Neue Schule Bit Sizer is positioned as a best-in-class tool for Bit Fit and Measurements because it was developed by a specialist bit maker to deliver fine incremental measurements and consistent mouthpiece profiling. Its technical precision outperforms simple tapes and budget gauges, while remaining more affordable and purpose-built than a full professional fitting kit like the PS of Sweden set, making it ideal for riders and fitters who need repeatable, accurate sizing without paying for a larger multi-tool system.

Technically sturdier and often quicker to use in clinic settings than a fabric measuring tape, it sits between consumer-priced tools and premium fitting sets—offering durable construction and focused functionality at a mid-to-high price point relative to simpler options.
