Bike Station Aptos is pleased to announce that we are the EXCLUSIVE Santa
Cruz and Monterey County Retul fit center.
Purchasing a new bike can be both a fun and exciting experience, but riding a bike that is not properly fit can
cause frustration, pain, and ultimately may lead to putting the bike in storage where it’ll start collecting dust.
On the other hand, maybe you already own a bike and are experiencing some discomfort. A proper bike fit
not only will provide you with the most economic means of expending energy, but will prevent that awful pain,
such as in the knee, so common with riders who are trying to adapt their bodies to the bike they already have
purchased.
We’d rather adapt a bike to the body you already have. There is a big difference between being sized
for a bike and being fit for a bike. When it comes to the biomechanics of fitting a rider to his/her bike, little
‘tweaks’ can be very significant.
Retül is a state-of-the-art motion capture system designed specifically for collecting the most accurate and
realistic data for bike fit technicians. By gathering data from key seven (7) anatomical points in the cyclist’s
riding position, fitters are able to profile existing (before) and ideal (after) angles for their client’s custom
needs, which could be to gain more efficiency and performance, more comfort or maybe to fit the customer
around an injury.
The passive data collection devices still used by many fitters today, such as a tape measure and plumb bob,
are outdated and less accurate because they are subject to human error. Fitting with the Retul system
however, provides sub-millimeter accurate data that is organized into an easy-to-read report.
Retül allows the bike fit expert to capture 100% objective data in a dynamic state and evaluate multiple
viewpoints (3-D) simultaneously while the rider is pedaling.
Retül optimizes the biomechanics of the rider while taking into consideration why people choose to get a bike
fit:
• Performance
• Comfort
• Injury prevention
Lets retül your fit.
Fittings generally take 1.5 to two hours. Please call for an appointment. You will need to bring your bike,
pedals, shoes and riding gear. We look forward to working with you!
