Retül & Zin in Kona for Ironman




Slowtwitch Bike Lounge Powered by Retül


Join us in a relaxing atmosphere during Ironman Hawaii week in which Pro Athletes can bring their race bike into the Slowtwitch Bike Lounge. Retül bike lounge personnel and fitters will put bikes in the trainer stand and Zin all bike data. While waiting, athletes will have the opportunity to be photographed with their racing equipment by Timothy Carlson and interviewed by Herbert Krabel for content on Slowtwitch.com.

Athletes are welcomed to attend during Kona week on October 6th - 8th (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday). The Bike Lounge will be set up and as time allows they will also have the opportunity to have their bike geometry Zin’d or they can even have a FIST certified bike fitter, Todd Carver and Mat Steinmetz, work with their bike fit position to optimize their race day performance.


Who is invited?

Pro Athletes, ST.com forum members, ST media, etc. This will be held at the Sheraton Hotel and will be a relaxing atmosphere for everyone in attendance. Norma Tec MVP (aka space legs, puffy pants) will be there with a recovery station (see pic)

What is the Zin?

Zin is a probe-like wand that is precisely captures the bike frame geometry of any given bike to the closest millimeter. The fitter uses this wand, which has LED's on it, to record measurements through the Retül motion capture camera. Bike geometry is calculated and presented for the fitter and the rider in an easy-to-read file.



Bike Fits - Powered by Retül
Age group athletes can sign up for a bike fit with FIST certified bike fitters Todd Carver or Mat Steinmetz who will utilize Retül’s 3-D motion capture bike fitting technology. Bike fits will be $249 for a full 120 minute fit or priced accordingly depending on athlete’s individual needs.
