SETTINGS
Warning: It is necessary to get off the bike to proceed to the settings (saddle, handlebar)
The warning decals shown on this page have been placed on the product in the locations shown below. If a decal is missing or
illegible, please contact your nearest DECATHLON store and order a free replacement decal. Place the decal on the product in
the location shown.
HOW TO ADJUST THE
POSITION OF THE SEAT
For effective exercising, the seat
should be at the proper height.
As you pedal, there should be a
slight bend of the knees when the
pedals are at the lowest position.
To adjust the seat, first hold the
seat (45) and loosen the seat post
knob (41). Align one of the holes
in the seat post (4) with the hole in
the frame tube (4). Insert the seat
knob into the frame and the seat
post, and tighten the seat knob
into the frame.
CAUTION :
• Be sure to insert the seat post
knob through one of the holes
in the seat post, and firmly tigh-
ten the seat post knob.
• Never exceed the maximum
saddle height.
HOW TO ADJUST THE
HANDLEBAR
To adjust the handlebar (48), loo-
sen the handlebar knob (51).
When the handlebar is in the sui-
table position, tighten the knob
(51).
HOW TO ADJUST THE
PEDAL STRAP
To adjust the pedal strap, first
release the brake system under the
pedal. Adjust the strap to the desi-
red position and then press the
brake to block the strap.
HOW TO LEVEL THE BIKE
If the bike rocks during use, turn
one or both plastic caps (8) at the
end of the back foot (3) until the
rocking stops.
SETTING THE RESISTANCE
The brakes system and the resis-
tance are coupled with the peda-
ling speed.
The resistance setting is done with
the knob indexed (46) from 1 to
8.
Position 1 corresponds to the least
resistance and position 8 to the
highest resistance.
You can adjust the resistance
while pedaling.

• Counting: Without setting the distance value, the monitor will count
up the distance from 0.1~999.9Km or Miles.
• Count down: Setting the exercise distance from 1.0~999.0 Km or
Mile, the monitor will count down from your setting values. Once the
setting value reached, the monitor will set off an alarm.
HEART-RATE:

The exercise bike provides an excellent kind of cardio-training activity. Training on this equipment is designed to increase your cardio-vascular
capacity. On this principle, you improve your physical condition, your endurance and you burn calories (an indispensable activity for weight
loss in association with dieting).
Finally, the exercise bike allows you to tone the muscles in the legs and buttocks.
The muscles in the calves and the lower abdominals are also worked.
PARTS OF THE BODY WORKED
Weight Maintenance/Warm-up:
progressive effort starting at 10
minutes.
For a workout designed either to keep you in
shape or for re-education purposes, you may
train every day for around ten minutes. This
type of exercise is designed to stimulate your
muscles and joints or may be used as a
warm-up to additional physical activity.
To increase the muscle tone of the legs, select
a higher resistance and lengthen the exercise
period.
Of course, you may vary the pedalling resis-
tance throughout your exercise session.
Aerobic fitness workout: moderate
effort for a fairly long period (35
min to 1 hour).
If you wish to lose weight, this type of exerci-
se, combined with a diet, is the only way to
increase the quantity of energy consumed by
the organism. Nevertheless, it is pointless to
push yourself beyond your limits. It is the
regularity of training that will allow you to
obtain the best results.
Select a fairly weak pedalling resistance and
exercise at your own rhythm, but at least for
a period of 30 minutes. This exercise should
raise a slight sweat but should under no cir-
cumstances leave you breathless. It’s the
duration of the exercise, at a slow rhythm,
that will require your organism to draw its
energy from your fat reserves provided that
you pedal for more than thirty minutes, a
minimum of three times a week.
Aerobic training for endurance: sus-
tained effort for 20 to 40 minutes.
This type of training targets significant rein-
forcement of the cardiac muscle and impro-
ved respiratory activity.
The resistance and/or speed of pedalling is
increased so as to increase respiration during
the exercise. The effort here is more sustained
than for the maintenance workout.
As your training progresses, you will be able
to sustain the effort for longer periods, at a
faster rate or with a higher degree of resis-
tance. You may train a minimum of three
times a week for this type of training.
Training at a faster rate (anaerobic workout
and workout in the red zone) is reserved for
athletes and requires adequate preparation.
After each training session, take several
minutes to pedal with diminishing speed and
resistance in order to cool down and pro-
gressively bring the body to a state of rest.
When just starting out, begin by training over several days with a slight resistance and pedalling speed, without forcing, and taking rest breaks as
needed. Then progressively increase the frequency or duration of your exercise sessions.

Warm-up phase : progressive effort.
Warming up is a preparatory phase before any activity. It puts the person INTO
OPTIMUM CONDITIONS for carrying out his or her favorite sport. It is a METHOD
OF PREVENTING ACCIDENTS TO TENDONS AND MUSCLES. There are two
aspects : WAKING UP THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM, GENERAL WARMING UP.
1) The muscular system is prepared in a SPECIAL STRETCHING SESSION which
PREPARES FOR EACH ACTIVITY : each group of muscles is used, joints are used.
2) Global warming up gradually brings the cardiovascular and respiratory sys-
tem into action, improves irrigation of the muscles and prepares for making
efforts. It must be sufficiently long : 10 min for a leisure sport activity, 20 min
for a competition sport activity. Note that warming up must be longer : after
55 years old, in the morning.
Training
TRAINING is the main phase of your physical activity. You can improve your phy-
sical condition by REGULAR training.
• Anaerobie exercice to develop endurance.
• Aerobic exercice to develop cardio-pulmonary resistance.
Slowing down
This is the continuation of an activity at low intensity, the gradual “return to rest”
phase. SLOWING DOWN brings the cardiovascular and respiratory system, the
blood flow and muscles back to “normal” (eliminating the counter effects of an
exercice, such as lactic acids, the accumulation of which is one of the major cau-
ses of muscular pains such as cramps and stiff muscles).
Stretching
STRETCHING must follow the slowing down phase while joints are still warm in
order to reduce risks of injury. Stretching after an activity : minimizes MUSCULAR
STIFFNESS due to an accumulation of LACTIC ACIDS, “stimulates” BLOOD
CIRCULATION.
CARDIO - TRAINING
• Exercise from 80 to 90% and
beyond : Anaerobic zone and red
zone reserved for high perfor-
mance and specialised athletes.
• Exercise of 70% to 80% of the
maximum cardiac rate :
Endurance exercise.
• Exercise from 60 to 70% of the
maximum cardiac rate : Getting
fit / favourable consumption of
fat.
• Exercise from 50 to 60% of the
maximum cardiac rate :
Maintenance /Warm up.

WARNING, TECHNICAL INSET
WARNING TO USERS
You must work towards getting fit in a controlled
manner.
Do no hesitate to consult a doctor before any
physical activity, especially if : you have not
practiced any sports activities in recent years,
you are more than 35 years old, you are not sure
about your health, you are following medical
treatment.

CARDIO-TRAINING EXERCICE
Cardio-training exercice is a form of aerobics (conditioning the body in the presence of oxygen) and allows you to improve your cardio-vascular
capacity. To be more precise, you will improve the tonicity of the heart and your blood vessels. Cardio-training exercice carries the oxygen breathed
in from the air to your muscles. It is the heart that pumps this oxygen through the body and, in particular, to the muscles being exercised.
CONTROLLING YOUR HEARTBEAT
PHASES OF A PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
It is vital to measure your pulse periodically in order to control your
degree of exercising. If you do not have an electronic measuring
device, follow this procedure :
To take your pulse, position two fingers : on the neck, or below the
ear, or at the inside wrist beside the thumb.
Do not press too hard : excessive pressure reduces the blood flow
and can slow down the heartbeat. After counting the pulsations for
30 seconds, multiply by 2 to obtain the number of pulsations per
minute.
Example : 75 pulsations counted in 30 seconds corresponds to a
heart beat of 150 pulsations per minute.
