Adjusting Resistance

The ST-X6 features 8 levels of magnetic resistance. To adjust the resistance, turn the resistance knob located below the handlebars. Turn clockwise for higher resistance (more challenging) and counter-clockwise for lower resistance (easier).

Adjusting Seat Height

To ensure a comfortable and effective workout, adjust the seat height to your preference. Loosen the adjustment knob on the seat post, slide the seat to the desired height, and then securely tighten the knob. Your knees should have a slight bend at the bottom of the pedal stroke.

Folding and Storage

The ST-X6 is designed to be foldable for compact storage. To fold the hometrainer:

1. Ensure the area around the hometrainer is clear.
2. Locate the folding mechanism (usually a pin or knob) on the main frame.
3. Release the mechanism and carefully fold the frame inwards until it locks into its compact position.
4. Once folded, use the integrated transport wheels for easy movement and storage.
