A Retül bike fit is a 3D motion data driven process that is designed to optimise your relationship with your bike. It's not simply making a rider more 'aero' or just more comfortable, but more to help you ride in a position that best suits your body, your goals and the demands of your riding.
- Improve Comfort. By reducing unnecessary pressure and strain on the contact points. Support the feet and your pelvis while removing pressure and tension from hands, neck and upper body.
- Increase Efficiency. By finding an optimised position that suits your flexion ranges, we can remove wasted energy at every pedal stroke.
- Reduce Injury. By identifying movement patterns, asymmetrical limitations and previous health and injury history, we can build a position which suits you and will help to reduce any overuse concerns.
- Performance. By ensuring your muscle and joint angles are within your tolerance, Performance will improve as you will be able to sustain higher power more comfortably.
Our purpose-built Retül Fit studio at Specialized Concept Store Nottingham is not only a dedicated space for a relaxed fit experience, but a training centre for Bike Fit.
If you cycle regularly, you can benefit from our bespoke Bike Fit service. The concept of tuning your bike is popular with competitive cyclists, but our service is just as relevant if you enjoy hitting the trails on your mountain bike, commuting to work or touring the countryside. Our team of fitters are fully trained to offer you the best and most comprehensive, personalised Bike Fit.
Whether you're buying your first bike, upgrading to a faster ride or setting new goals, a Bike Fit session is a most worthwhile investment.
For the first-time buyer, understanding the measurements of your body and how that relates to the correct bike position set-up is crucial. If you can select a bike that better fits you from the very beginning, your foray into the world of cycling will be much more efficient and enjoyable. We can adjust our Retül bike to the exact configuration of any bike that you are considering, and allow you to feel the characteristics of a number of bikes in one sitting.
If you're looking to upgrade your ride, or increase your training volume or intensity, a proper bike fitting is a wise investment. In addition to the bike fit service on our Retül bike, we will analyse your performance on your own bike, or any bike that you are considering to purchase. This will help maximise the efficiency and power of your riding, and reduce the chances of injury if you are adapting to a new training programme.
Replacing the footbeds in your shoes is often overlooked, but this simple change can increase both power and endurance on the bike. Thanks to a brand-new piece of in-store technology, Retül's Footbed vacuum moulding tray, we can now create custom footbeds in less than 45 minutes, helping to align your knees, hips and feet and add support to the arch of your foot.
Retül have combined this process with Specialized Body Geometry insoles to create the perfect customised cycling footbed, allowing you to feel the benefit in terms of comfort, support and power transfer. This process works seamlessly with a full Retül Vantage 3D motion capture fit, or can be performed as a standalone process.
