Fitting

Proper fit is just as important as a well adjusted, well-speced bike.

At Absolute Bikes, we are proud to have Certified Retül Fit Technicians. We are the only bike shop in Northern Arizona to offer Retül Fits, which incorporates several functional and structural evaluations of the cyclist’s body. These evaluations are applied to the rider while on the bike to make them both more comfortable, more efficient, and injury-free.

Even though the top professional cycling teams in the world use the Retül Fit system, anyone can benefit from a Retül Fit. The most casual rider can be more comfortable and get rid of those numb hands or achy knees.

Because of the detailed nature of Retül Fit, we ask that you call ahead and schedule an appointment. That allows our fitter to completely focus their full attention on your fit. Please contact nate@absolutebikes.net or call to set-up an appointment with one of our fitters. We are able to schedule fits in either the Flagstaff or Sedona locations. A full, comprehensive Retül Fit is approximately a two-hour process and costs $250.

We also offer the following services that include your essential sizing points on a bike like saddle height and saddle position fore and aft up to our Dynamic Suspension Tuning package where one of our trained suspension technicians will go ride a trail with you and really dial in your suspension to your riding.

Below is a list of the packages we offer and pricing:

ESSENTIAL SIZING

$25 - $50

We will look at the essential points on the bike and adjust them to your riding style and particular needs. This will consist of adjusting the height of your saddle for proper leg extension, fore-aft alignment and stems if needed for a better fit.

ADVANCED SIZING

$75 - $120

1-hour FIT

You will get the same expertise as a full Retül Fit, except for us using static measurements as opposed to the 3D Fit system. This is perfect for those with budget constraints or if using platform pedals. We will look at everything in the Essentials Package plus looking at handlebars, suspension and other potential concerns.

There may be additional costs for excessive adjustments due to complicated bike setups.

DYNAMIC SUSPENSION TUNING

$50

1/2-hour

One of our trained suspension techs will go on a ride with you and really get your suspension working the way it should for your abilities and riding style.

ANNUAL FIT

$150

1.5-hours

This package is for individuals who have had the full Retül Fit done within the last year and may just need to be readjusted. The body changes and your bike should change with you.

FIT – ROAD

$250

2.5-hours

This package is meant for anyone that are looking to be more comfortable on your ride, adjust your bike around physical limitations or if you are just looking for a competitive edge for racing. We will use the Retüul 3D Vantage Fit System to get a real time look at what your body is doing while you pedal and how to get you into your best most efficient riding position. There may be additional costs for excessive adjustments due to complicated bike setups.

FIT – MOUNTAIN

$250

2.5-hours

While a fit on a mountain bike is always changing depending on the terrain you’re riding and whether or not you are climbing or descending, it still makes a difference to have a proper riding position at your typical upright riding position. This fit will go one step further with the help of one of our suspension technicians, we will set up your suspension to better fit your riding style and goals for the bike. There may be additional costs for excessive adjustments due to complicated bike setups.

If you would like to make an appointment with one of our fitters or suspension techs, please give us a call and we will be happy to get you scheduled for your fit. Please call us with any questions about what these services offer or come in to talk with one of our employees and see what level best fits your need.
