3.2 Resistance System
The MERACH bike utilizes a new magnetic resistance system with industrial bearings and ABS pulleys, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride with noise levels not exceeding 30 dB. This system avoids issues like loud noises or damaged pulleys found in bikes with iron sand flywheels.
- Adjusting Resistance: The easy-to-use adjustment knob allows for resistance settings from 0 to 8. Turn the knob clockwise to increase resistance and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
- Emergency Stop: Push the resistance knob down firmly to engage the emergency brake and stop the flywheel immediately.

- MERACH App: Download the free MERACH app to connect with the bike. The app offers online personal trainers, real-world simulations (e.g., Swiss snowy landscapes, alpine challenges, coastal rides), and various training programs to make workouts more engaging and effective.
