This HOIST® LeMond® Series ELITE Owner’s Manual will help you get the most enjoyment from your

Greg LeMond, three-time Tour de France Champion, is the force behind the inspiration and design of
this remarkable indoor bike. Greg’s story is one of courage and heroic accomplishment. In 1986, Greg
became the rst American to win the longest and most physically demanding event in the world — the
Tour de France. Only nine months later in April of 1987, he narrowly escaped death when he was ac-
cidentally shot in a hunting accident. During a long and painful rehabilitation, he set a goal that many
considered inconceivable: to once again win the Tour de France. In 1989, he achieved that goal and then
proved it was no mere stroke of luck by winning the Tour a third time in 1990.
A legendary athlete, Greg introduced many cycling innovations during his racing career. Just as aero
bars are now commonplace, the HOIST® LeMond® Series ELITE is the new standard in indoor group
cycles. The HOIST® LeMond® Series ELITE combines Greg’s passion for cycling with exceptional
product innovation. Built to deliver an incredible workout, every component of the HOIST® LeMond®
Series ELITE has been designed to be more innovative, more user friendly and more comfortable than
any other indoor group cycle you have ridden. Whether you are a beginning tness enthusiast or a
highly conditioned athlete, you will immediately feel the dierence.

GUIDELINES FOR SAFE OPERATION
WARNING
THESE GUIDELINES ARE DIRECTED TO YOU, AS THE OWNER OF THIS EXERCISE EQUIPMENT.
YOU SHOULD INSIST THAT ALL USERS FOLLOW THE SAME GUIDELINES. YOU SHOULD MAKE
THIS MANUAL AVAILABLE TO ALL USERS.
1. Obtain a complete physical examination from your medical doctor and enlist a health/tness pro-
fessional’s aid in developing an exercise program suitable for your current health status.
2. When working out for the rst time, start out slowly for a minimum of ve minutes. After your
muscles are warmed up, gradually increase the pedaling rate and/or resistance to a speed that
allows you to attain your target heart rate zone.
3. The speed and duration of your exercise program should always be subject to how you feel. Never
permit peer pressure to exceed your personal judgment while exercising.
4. Overweight or severely unconditioned individuals should be particularly cautious when using the
equipment for the rst time. Even though such individuals may not have histories of serious physi-
cal problems, they may perceive the exercise to be far less intense than it really is, resulting in the
possibility of overexertion or injury.
5. Although all equipment manufactured by HOIST Fitness Systems, Inc. has been thoroughly in-
spected at the manufacturing facility prior to shipment, proper installation and regular mainte-
nance are required to ensure safety. Maintenance is the sole responsibility of the owner.
GUIDELINES FOR SAFE OPERATION

ADJUSTING THE FIT
Take a moment to learn how to properly t your HOIST® LeMond® Series ELITE to your body; it will
make your workouts a more pleasant and safer experience. The HOIST® LeMond® Series ELITE has each
adjustment numbered so you can quickly return the adjustments to your specic settings. Making full
use of these features will give you the most comfortable ride possible and allow you to exercise e-
ciently. Using the bike when it is incorrectly adjusted can result in unnecessary discomfort and increase
your risk of injury.
Seat Adjustment:
Adjusting the Seat’s Height
1. Stand next to the seat post and adjust the seat to hip height.
2. Rotate the crank so that the pedals are in the vertical, 12 and
6 o’clock, position.
3. Place your foot in the toe cage of the pedal closest to the oor
and mount the bike. Ensure that the ball of your foot is over
the center of the pedal. Your leg should be slightly bent at
the knee (155° extension), as shown in the picture to the right.
4. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the pedal
you will need to lower the seat. If your leg is bent too much
you will need to raise the seat.
5. Dismount the bike and pull up on the seat post cam clamp
lever. Once loosened, slide the seat post up or down as nec-
essary.
6. When the seat is in the desired position, push the cam clamp lever
down to the locked position to secure the seat post.
7. Note the nal position mark on the seat post for future reference.
Adjusting the Seat’s Forward/Aft Position
1. Sit on your bike with the cranks in the 3 and 9 o’clock positions.
A proper forward/aft position of the seat is achieved when the
small bump at the top of the shin of your forward leg, directly
below the knee cap (tibial tuberosity), is above the pedal axle.
2. Dismount to adjust the seat forward or aft for a better t.
Loosen the seat adjustment knob and slide the seat forward or
backward as desired; then tighten.
3. Note the nal position mark under the seat for future refer-
ence. (Repeat steps for seat height if necessary.)

Handlebar Adjustment:
Adjusting the Handlebar Height
1. Handlebar height is a matter of preference. Start with the han-
dlebars at the same height as the seat. Adjusting the handle-
bars higher will give the rider a more upright position; lowering
them will result in a more prone position.
2. Dismount the bike to adjust the handlebars. Raise or lower the
handlebars by pulling up on the handlebar post cam clamp
lever and sliding the handlebar post up or down as desired.
Push the cam clamp lever down to the locked position to
secure the handlebar post.
3. Note the nal position mark on the handlebar post for future
reference.
Adjusting the Handlebar’s Forward/Aft Position
1. Dismount the bike and loosen the handlebar forward/aft
adjustment knob and slide the handlebars either forward of
backward as desired. The forward/aft position should be set
to allow the rider to comfortably grasp the handles with a
slight bend at the elbow.
2. Tighten the adjustment lever clockwise to secure the handle-
bar assembly. Note the nal position mark for future refer-
ence.
Pedal strap adjustment:
1. Place the ball of each foot on the pedal and in the toe cage such that the ball of the foot is centered
over the pedal spindle and under the strap.
2. Rotate the cranks until one foot is in a position closest to you.
3. To tighten the strap, pull up on the end of the strap until it ts snugly over your shoe. Make sure
that the strap is secure, but not overly tight or pressing uncomfortably on your foot.
4. Repeat for the other foot.
5. To loosen he pedal strap, press down on the clip that holds the strap secure, and pull slightly
outward.
6. Release the clip to lock the strap into place.

BASIC OPERATION
Now that you have established a riding position, take a few minutes to ride the bike and determine that
your position is comfortable. Start pedaling at a slow pace with your toes and knees pointed directly
forward. Hold the grips lightly and in a position that allows your shoulders and upper body to relax.
Pedal easily, at a low resistance, until you feel condent that you could ride in that position for the dura-
tion of your workout.
WARNING
IF AT ANY TIME DURING YOUR WORKOUT, YOU FEEL CHEST PAIN, EXPERIENCE SEVER
MUSCULAR DISCOMFORT, FEEL FAINT, OR ARE SHORT OF BREATH, STOP EXERCISING
IMMEDIATELY. IF THE CONDITION PERSISTS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR MEDICAL
DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY.
1. Pedaling resistance is controlled by the tension lever located beneath the handlebar. Resistance
may be changed at any time by rotating the tension lever; downward for more resistance, or
upward for less resistance.
2. To apply the emergency brake, press downward on the tension knob.
3. Before dismounting, apply the emergency brake to stop the ywheel, or increase the resistance and
let the ywheel come to a stop.
4. To dismount the bike, rst loosen each toe cage strap and remove your feet from the pedals, then
step o the bike.
