' Make sure your bike fits you’ Sir Chris Hoy

The Retul 3D motion capture bike fitting system uses infra-red LEDS placed on the rider at specific biomechanical reference points. A 3D scanner measures the location of each LED 29 times per second whilst the rider is in motion and under load. The accuracy of each measurement is to within a millimetre.

Typically the measurements are taken over a 15 second period from the side and the front simultaneously. The resulting data informs the fitter of the most realistic body position and pedal stroke the rider adopts whilst riding for real on the road or trail.

Such detailed data enables the fitter to adjust and tailor your bike to fit your body's optimal biomechanical range. This reduces stress on joints and enables muscles to work with maximum efficiency.

Unlike static fits this dynamic assessment gives feedback as to how the body reacts and interacts in biomechanical motion. This results in, quite simply, a better bike fit.

The Sky cycling team, and many pro mountain bike riders and triathletes choose Retul as their bike fit system. World Ironman Champion Craig Alexander improved his bike split by 13 minutes after a Retul fitting of his latest bike.
