Introduction
FLEX BIKE ULTRA™
Congratulations on purchasing the Flex Bike Ultra™, one of the
highest performance stationary bikes on the fitness market. The Flex
Bike Ultra™will offer you an excellent whole body workout through
the inclusion of upper-body movements on the bike. Accelerating,
pushing up from the saddle, and recovering are all natural and
dynamic total body movements for outdoor cyclists. Climbing
steep hills and sprinting involves significant engagement through
the core and upper-body to control the lower-body and propel the
bike forward. The Flex Bike Ultra™uses a unique and revolutionary
handlebar system to mimic and access this level of realistic intensity.
Welcome to the Flex Bike Ultra™Revolution!
