Benefits of a Professional Fitting

What are the benefits of a proper bike fit?
A proper bike fit is essential for injury prevention and maximized efficiency.  An optimal position on the bike will allow for greater comfort and enjoyment while riding.  All bodies are different and your position on the bike should reflect your biomechanics. 

Why get fit with Retul 3D motion capture technology?
The best way to analyze a rider’s efficiency is to observe and measure the rider while he or she is pedaling the bike.  Retul 3D motion capture technology simultaneously measures three planes of movement on the rider as he or she is in motion.  Retul averages the rider’s pedal strokes to provide a comprehensive data set reflecting the rider’s movements.  Only at this point can a bike fit expert properly evaluate changes to a rider’s position.  Attempts to analyze the rider in a static position, or only in two dimensions, will not provide data at the same level of accuracy as 3D motion capture. 

Who can benefit from a bike fit?
Generally, if you are serious enough to clip into a bike, you will benefit from a bike fit.  Whether you are a professional or recreational rider, getting the proper bike fit is an effective yet economical way to improve performance. 

How long does a Retul fit take?
An average fit with Retul lasts 90 minutes.  However, if you have major adjustments or component changes, the fit may be longer.

How is fit data shared with the rider?
The Retul software archives data for every rider and his or her bike/bikes.  The client receives a report of the final fit data, which inlcudes body measurments and angles, as well as bike set-up and measurements.

Fitting Costs

3D Motion capture on existing bike - $275

Includes:

• Biomechanical analysis
• Cycling-specific flexibility/functional strength assessment
• Dynamic data capture of 3D full body movements to determine suggested optimal position
• Recording of power output to help determine optimal position
• Comprehensive digital reports of 3D and 2D body parameters, 3D bicycle fit coordinates, and bike frame geometry

**An additional bicycle is priced at $175 when bikes are fit consecutively (for example road and mountain bikes fit back to back.)

Follow-up appointment - $150 per hour
A follow-up appointment is available for clients who have already been through a Retul analysis, and are in need of adjustment.  A follow-up appointment is appropriate for a bike that has been fit by Retul within one year prior to the follow-up appointment date.  A follow-up appointment is appropriate for part changes and recommendations.
