Operating Instructions

Adjusting Resistance

The bike features a 16-level magnetic resistance system. To adjust the resistance, turn the tension control knob located on the main frame. Turn clockwise to increase resistance for a more challenging workout, and counter-clockwise to decrease resistance for an easier session. Levels 1-4 are suitable for warm-up, 5-8 for fat loss, 9-13 for endurance building, and 14-16 for muscle strengthening.

Adjusting Seat and Riding Position

The seat is adjustable to 8 different heights to accommodate users between 145 cm and 195 cm. The bike also offers three main training positions: vertical (standard), semi-recumbent, and a classic cycling position. An innovative elastic lock system allows for effortless adjustment of the bike's position. Simply lift the front frame and pull the lock, and it will automatically adjust.
