Looking to get the same professional fit on your bike as several Garmin-Slipstream pros? Felt Bicycles has partnered with Retül to offer its customers a motion capture-based dynamic sizing session with every bike purchase.

Now every Felt customer can get the same treatment as Garmin-Sliptream's team captain Christian Vande Velde.

“We feel that knowledge is power,” said Cliff Simms, founder of Retül. “And Retül empowers bike fitters with the most robust cycling-gait specific data file available. We’re thrilled to align ourselves with a forward-thinking bike manufacturer like Felt, which we believe can benefit greatly from the Retül’s services.”

Retül allows bike fit experts to capture 100 percent objective data in a dynamic state and evaluate multiple 3-D viewpoints while the rider is pedaling. By gathering data from eight key anatomical points in the cyclist’s riding position, Retül allows fitters to capture accurate dynamic data on every moving part of the body simultaneously in real-time.
