NEW SCHWINN PERFORMANCE CYCLING BIKES FEATURE
- Performance handlebar
- Dual-density saddle with Schwinnfit™ System
- Mpower™ computer console measures mph, distance, watts, heart rate and calories burned
- Magnetic technology creates consistent resistance
The Three Cycle System is designed to continuously stimulate your body through progressive exercises and movements so you avoid the effects of plateauing. By frequently introducing your body to new and demanding stimuli, you will see the benefits to body and mind throughout the life of your training program.
SEAT HEIGHT
Stand next to seat and flex knee to 90 degrees. Adjust seat height to match hip angle. Measure this by standing next to the bike and estimate by sight. When you ride, your knee should be slightly soft at the bottom of the pedal stroke. Your knee should not lock.
HANDLEBAR HEIGHT
Adjust the handlebar height to be level with the seat or higher.When you ride, your shoulders and back should be comfortable.
SEAT POSITIONING
Adjust the fore-aft position of both the seat and handlebars to "0" Most riders are well positioned here. Taller riders can try the "+" positions and shorter riders can try the "-" positions.
Be sure to ask your instructor if you have any questions about your bike fit.
WHAT YOUR CONSOLE TELLS YOU
USB PORT
Insert your own flash drive so you can track your rides and progress.
MPH
Miles per hour is simulated measure of your speed. Similar to outdoor riding this number relates strongly to WATTS. More resistance and strong RPM will get you greater MPH numbers.
WATTS
Power. Instant feedback as to how hard you’re working. You can increase WATTS with increases in resistance. This number grows as you get stronger and more powerful.
HEART RATE
Schwinn technology picks up almost all heart rate devices allowing you another monitor for intensity.
KCALS
Total calories. You know what these are. Let’s get burning!
RPMS
Revolutions Per Minute. This is a measure of the speed of your pedal stroke. Your instructor will have recommendations for RPM speed based upon the challenge.
STAGE
Stage Time allows you to break out a timed interval for a specific challenge.
Stage Distance measured in miles and corresponding to the Stage Time interval.
TOTAL
Time Time measured in minutes and seconds for today’s workout
Total Distance is measured in miles. Track your distance class-to-class over time to see strength and endurance gains.
