For your comfort and customizability, your seat is adjustable in dual directions.
Take your time finding the optimum seat position to ensure comfortable riding tailored to your body.
For your safety and comfort, please follow the detailed
directions on Page 13 to safely mount the unit.
Easily set the resistance level of your unit using the
Tension Controller Knob by turning either clockwise or

STEP 4 : SELECT YOUR HANDLEBAR (2 Options)
STEP 5 : SELECT YOUR PEDALING DIRECTION (2 Options)
Your Body Rider® 35 unit comes with versatile ergonomic handlebars. There are two sets:
1. Upper Handlebars provide upper body engagement and support similar to standard
exercise bikes, and
2. Lower Handlebars provide body mechanic positioning inspired by horseback riding.
You may change your handlebar selection throughout your workout.
Your Body Rider® 35 provides both forward and reverse riding. To switch between
directions, make a smooth transition by simply coming to a pause and engaging your
body-mind coordination to start riding in the direction you wish. This versatile function allows
you to change up your workout routines on the Body Rider® 35 and incorporate dynamic
muscle engagement (i.e. "muscle confusion").
