Professional bike fitting

A good bike fit should help you feel more comfortable, efficient, and confident on the bike. Durango Sports Lab offers professional Retül bike fitting using dynamic motion capture, rider feedback, and individualized biomechanical assessment.

Whether you ride road, gravel, mountain, or triathlon bikes, a professional fit can help address discomfort, improve power transfer, and support long-term riding performance.

Is bike fitting right for you?

You may benefit from a bike fit if you are experiencing pain, numbness, discomfort, inefficient pedaling, position-related fatigue, or uncertainty about your current setup.

Bike fitting can also be helpful when you purchase a new bike, change equipment, increase training volume, or prepare for a race or event.

What happens during a Retül bike fit

A comprehensive Retül fit begins with a conversation about your riding history, goals, training volume, injury history, discomfort, equipment, and performance concerns.

The session may include:

  • Off-bike physical assessment and mobility screening
  • Evaluation of your current bike setup and rider position
  • Dynamic motion capture analysis using the Retül system
  • Step-by-step positional adjustments
  • Real-time feedback throughout the process
  • Final review of fit measurements, recommendations, and next steps

The process is collaborative and individualized, with the goal of balancing comfort, efficiency, injury prevention, and performance.

What you’ll leave with

You’ll leave with a more biomechanically optimized riding position, an explanation of what changed and why, Retül fit measurements, and recommendations for adaptation, equipment changes, or follow-up adjustments if needed.
