RETÜL Bike Fit

AT FIT & FUEL,

WE’RE RETÜL FIT EXPERTS.

Retül provides technology, tools and training to allow us to improve every rider’s comfort, efficiency and power output with a professional bicycle fitting.

Based in Boulder, Colorado, Retül has specialized in bike fit technology and training since 2007, performing more than 3,000 fits at its headquarters, teaching more than 350 bike fit training courses around the world and helping bike shops, fit studios, performance centers and medical professionals implement Retül fit services into their businesses. Retül was acquired by Specialized Bicycle Components in 2012 and Retül provides fit technology for Body Geometry Fit.

The real beauty of this system lies in our ability to obtain a great fit in a short amount of time. You can rest assured that you aren’t only purchasing the correct bike for your needs, but a bike that’s custom fit, too, for optimum efficiency. We can also work with clients to custom-fit your existing bike to your specific needs.

Here are some of the benefits of our Retül Fittings:

• We’re trained in muscle and skeletal anatomy related to the motion of cycling, common aches and pains associated with cycling, and the corrections necessary to address these issues.
• We have the ability to assess pedal stroke and install BG footbeds and varus/valgus wedges to properly align the foot/knee/hip for maximum efficiency and comfort.
• We can help you ride longer, faster, happier, and healthier so you gain the most from your cycling activities.
• We can recommend products to adjust your bicycle to unique challenges in flexibility, comfort or power output.

Ultimately, whether you’re a seasoned triathlete or just beginning your cycling journey, a properly fit bike means you’ll enjoy a more comfortable, effective and safe ride for years to come.

How Does it Work?

STEP 1:

Starting with a pre-fit physical assessment, your fitter will take into account your body’s limitations, previous injuries and pains, and your goals on the bike.

STEP 2:

From there, the fitter will have you get on the bike (either your existing bike or fit bike) to place LED markers on 8 anatomical points of your body which will be tracked by the Retül Vantage Motion Capture system. The Retül Vantage system is used to collect real-time, three-dimensional data from each pedal stroke creating a dynamic fit experience.

STEP 3:

The real-time data is compiled into the Retül fit software so that the fitter can look at the numbers and dial you into your perfect riding position.

STEP 4:

Once you and your fitter have dialed in your final bike position, the fitter will create a digital map of your final bike set up using the Retül Zin tool. The bike data and Zin tool measurements are generated into a complete fit report that you can reference at any time after the fit.
