WHY WATTBIKE?
A Wattbike is an exercise bike designed to mimic road cycling while accurately recording power output in watts (hence ‘Wattbike’). Recording power output means cycling performance, technique and heart rate can be analysed and refined. An external device such as a tablet or iPad is used alongside the Wattbike to display data and connect with external apps.
The Wattbike uses a dual braking system (both magnetic and air) to mimic the feeling of being out on the road, both on the flat and also climbing. The air-braking system recreates the feel of cycling on the flat using different gears.
The gear lever regulates the flow of air entering the turbine. The addition of a magnetic braked flywheel allows the rider to recreate the feel of climbing. Increasing the resistance moves a set of magnets closer to the flywheel, making it harder to cycle.
The Wattbikes main focus is on analysing cycling technique. In-depth stats reveal even the finest details of your technique, such as the power output from each leg, and from each rotation. Helping you to cycle as efficiently as possible by concentrating on your power output rather than the more linear factors like time spent on the bike or distance travelled.
WATTBIKE BENEFITS
DETAILED STATS
If you feel your road cycling has plateaued and you are looking for an insight into your technique to improve, the Wattbike will give you unparalleled data on every aspect of your ride.
WINTER TRAINING
In winter road cycling can be limited with bad weather and short days. Wattbike training can maintain your cycling levels year round.
EXCELLENT CONNECTIVITY
The Wattbike connects with a wide range of apps without the use of any extra gadgets.
