The g•force UT has been tested by some of America’s most famous cyclists. Our company founder,
Greg LeMond, is the force (the g 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 accidentally 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 g•force UT will be the new standard in indoor tness bikes. The
g•force UT combines Greg’s passion for cycling with exceptional product innovation. Built to deliver
an incredible workout, every component of the g•force UT has been designed to be more innovative,
user friendly and comfortable than any other indoor bike you have ridden. Whether you are a beginning
tness enthusiast or a highly conditioned athlete, you will immediately feel the dierence.
Attractive and cordless, you can position the g•force UT anywhere in your home for maximum enjoy-
ment. Starting with how quiet a g•force UT workout is, you will quickly discover that the g•force UT
gives you a better cycling experience than any other indoor exercise bike.

1 BEFORE GETTING STARTED
It is always important to consult a physician for a complete physical examination before starting any
exercise program. Beyond identifying any risk factors you may have, your health professional can assist
you in developing an exercise program which establishes the frequency and intensity appropriate for
your age and current health status.
The g•force UT is an excellent choice for overweight or severely deconditioned individuals in that it
provides more seat and handlebar adjustability and the lowest pedaling requirement of all other tness
bikes. However, if you consider yourself such an individual, you should still exercise caution when using
this equipment for the rst time. Overexertion or the possibility of injury exists when starting any new
exercise program.
CAUTION: If at any time during a workout, you experience pain or tightness in the chest,
an irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, feel faint or severe discomfort of any kind,
STOP exercising immediately. Consult your physician before continuing your program.

2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Save these Instructions
This Owner’s Manual contains all the information necessary to operate the g•force UT in a safe and en-
joyable manner. Please read and understand the contents of this Owner’s Manual in it’s entirety before
attempting to operate the g•force UT .
• The g•force UT was designed for indoor use only. Choose a location that is clear of any obstruc-
tions, including walls and furniture. Leave a minimum of 12 in (30.5 cm) ft clearance on each side of
the bike.
• The display console of the g•force UT uses four AA rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH)
batteries. Never replace with conventional alkaline batteries. Doing so will damage your
electronics and void your warranty.
• Keep the area around your bike clear while in use.
• The g•force UT was designed for users between 58 in (147.3 cm) and 80 in (203.2 cm) in height.
Children who meet the height requirements should be closely supervised when using the bike.
• Keep very young children, disabled persons and pets away from the g•force UT while it is in use.
Children, and pets in particular, may nd the repetitive motion of the pedals fascinating, and this curi-
osity may result in injury. Do not allow any child or pet to touch the bike while it is still in motion.
• Keep all loose clothing, shoelaces, cords and towels away from pedals and other moving parts. Shoe-
laces, in particular, can become entangled in the pedal mechanism, causing serious discomfort or
injury.
• Do not place ngers or any other objects into moving parts of the equipment.

3.1 Bike
Taking a moment to learn how to properly t your g•force UT correctly will make your workouts
a more pleasant experience. The design of the g•force UT provides more seat and handlebar
adjustability than any other upright bike available. Making full use of these feature will give you the
most comfortable ride possible and ensure maximum exercise eciency. Using the bike in an incorrect
position can result in unnecessary discomfort and increase the risk of injury.
3.1 Seat Adjustment
1. Rotate the pedals so that one of the pedals is in the upward position.
2. Place your foot in the toe clip 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.
3. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the pedal you will need to lower the seat. If
you leg is bent too much you will need to raise the seat.
4. Dismount the bike and rotate the seat post adjustment handle counter clockwise. Once
loosened you may slide the eat post up or down as necessary.
5. When the seat is in the desired position rotate the seat stem adjustment handle clockwise to
secure the seat post. Note the nal position mark on the seat stem for future reference.
Adjusting the Fore/Aft position
1. Adjusting the fore/aft allows for a better t. Rotate the seat adjustment handle counter
clockwise and slide the seat forward or backward.
2. Sit on your bike with the cranks in the 3 & 9 o’clock position. Proper fore/aft position is achieved
when the small bump at the top of the shin directly below the knee cap (tibial tuberosity) is
approximately over the pedal axle (at the 3 o’clock position).
3. Rotate the adjustment handle clockwise to secure the seat.
4. Note the nal position mark under the seat for future reference.
3.1.2 Handlebar Adjustment:
1. Raise or lower the handlebars by rotating the handlebar post adjustment handle counter
clockwise and sliding the post up or down.
2. Handlebar height is a matter of preference, start with the handlebars at the same height as the
seat. Adjusting the handlebars higher than the seat will give the rider a more upright position,
lowering them will result in a more exed position.

3 SETTING UP AND OPERATING THE g•force UT
Adjusting the fore/aft position:
1. Turn the handlebar adjustment knob counter clockwise and slide the handlebars either forward
or backward as desired.
2. The fore/aft position should be set to allow the rider to comfortably grasp the handles with a
slight bend at the elbow.
3. Tighten by turning the knob clockwise and note the nal position for future reference.
3.1.3 Pedal Strap Adjustment
The straps of the g•force UT are designed to allow you to adjust the pedal to your individual foot size.
The pedals include spring-loaded, locking clips for easy adjustments. Follow the steps below to adjust
the straps so that your foot does not slip or slide about on the pedal.
1. Place the ball of each foot on the center of the pedal and under the strap.
2. Rotate the pedals until one foot is in the position closest to you.
3. To tighten the strap, simply pull down 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 these steps for the other foot.
5. To loosen the pedal strap, press down at the top of the clip that holds the strap secure, and pull
the strap up. Release the clip to lock the strap into place.
Now that you have established a riding position, take a few minutes to ride the bike and conrm that
your position is comfortable. Start pedaling at a slow pace with your toes and knees pointed directly for-
ward. 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 comfortably for the
duration of your workout.

button, but the easiest way to power up the display console is to simply start pedaling.
Quick Start: This key overrides the need to enter user data and starts a selected program with default
parameters.
Note: This function can not be used in the Constant HR program. User data is required to establish your
target heart rate.
Stop: This key is only eective while a DEFINED PROGRAM is running. Pressing the STOP key once will
pause the program. To restart the program where you left o, simply press ENTER. Pressing the STOP
key twice will end the program and the MESSAGE DISPLAY will show the data accumulated during your
workout. Pressing the STOP key three times will return you to the SELECT WORKOUT prompt.
Enter: Press this key when prompted by the MESSAGE DISPLAY to enter values such as time or weight.
Pressing the ENTER key will conrm the value you have chosen and move you to the next step in setting
up your program.
Back: Use this key to return to the previous screen on the MESSAGE DISPLAY.
+/- Keys: These keys serve two functions. While setting up a program, the +/- KEYS are used to increase
or decrease values such as weight, or age. While a dened program is running, the +/- KEYS are used to
increase or decrease resistance.
+ Key: While setting up a program or a prole, use this key to increase a numeric value. While a de-
ned program is running, use this key to increase the resistance level – making the workout harder.
- Key: While setting up a program or a prole, use this key to decrease a numeric value. While a de-
ned program is running, use this key to decrease the resistance level – making the workout easier.
Note: You can press these keys repeatedly or, simply touch and hold the key until the desired value appears
on the PROFILE DISPLAY.
Message Display: This LCD display will guide you through the steps to set up your user proles and the
program workouts. Simply answer the prompts that are given on the screen to start any of the eleven
DEFINED PROGRAMS.

3 SETTING UP AND OPERATING THE g•force UT
Feedback Displays: These displays show you physiological information such as heart rate and the
calories you are expending, as well as physical information such as the time you have spent working out
& the number of miles you have traveled in your living room.
• [TIME/INTERVAL]—switches between time left on the program and time left in the specic program
segment in the dedicated display above the button
• [HR/DISTANCE]—switches between HR and DISTANCE in the dedicated display above the button.
Note: The heart rate function of the g-force UT is intended only for use as an exercise aide.
Various factors can aect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate function of
the g-force UT should not be considered or used as a medical devise.
• [LEVEL/RPM]—switches between RMP and LEVEL in the dedicated LED display above the button.
• [KCAL/WATTS]—switches between KCAL and WATTS in the dedicated LED displays above the button.
Note: The WATT is a measurement of workload. It is aected by both resistance and pedal
speed. Increased resistance and increased pedal rate increases the number of WATTS expended.
This information can be used to evaluate your tness progress over time. As your tness
improves, your WATTS expenditure for a given program should decrease.
• Wrong Battery Message: The g-force UT uses rechargeable NIMH batteries. If the user installs alkaline
AA batteries by mistake, the power button will not turn on and a “wrong battery”message will be
displayed if the bike is pedaled.
Note: The use of alkaline batteries will void the warranty, damage the electronics and potentially be a re
hazard.

4 GUIDELINES FOR AN EFFECTIVE EXERCISE PROGRAM
Setting a Goal and Dening Objectives
An important step in a successful exercise program is to set achievable goals and objectives. Regardless
of your current physical condition, you need to establish a workable plan to reach your tness goals.
Begin by asking yourself a few basic questions. Are you just beginning an exercise program and wishing
to change your lifestyle from sedentary to physically active, or are your goals to enhance your current
tness levels? What are your primary objectives? Is your program to be geared toward losing weight,
increasing aerobic capacity, maintaining or building muscle tone, or perhaps all three?
In order to ensure that you fully receive all benets associated with a sound exercise program, you
should rst identify any risk factors that may inuence the design of your exercise program. Your health
care professional should be the rst step in identifying risk factors that may need to be addressed in es-
tablishing a program. Consider having a trained tness professional help you in developing an individu-
alized program that is enjoyable, easily maintained, but still challenging enough to achieve your desired
results.
Remember that your greatest benet will come from an increased sense of well-being that comes along
with a lifestyle that includes physical activity. People who have already made physical tness a part of
their daily lives, will conrm that the benets of including physical activity in your life far outweigh the
inconvenience and time spent.
Any time you spend on your exercise program will reward you with increased energy, reduced stress, a
greater ability to focus and concentrate, and improved self-condence. You and the people you share
your life with will reap the rewards of your new lifestyle.
Flexibility Training
Achieving and maintaining an adequate range of motion should always be included in a comprehensive
exercise program. Sucient exibility will increase your enjoyment and maximize the eectiveness of
exercising on the g•force UT. It will also reduce discomfort while working out and reduce the risk of
injury. Always warm-up before stretching. Warm-up should include light activity to increase both your
heart rate and body temperature. Increasing your body temperature allows you to stretch muscles
more eectively and safely. Attempting to stretch a cold muscle is counterproductive and can lead to an
injury that may interfere with the continuation of your tness program and can postpone reaching your
goals.

14
4 GUIDELINES FOR AN EFFECTIVE EXERCISE PROGRAM
Guidelines for Exercising on the g•force UT
Warming Up
A good warm-up is one of the most important and most frequently overlooked part of an exercise regi-
men. Without a proper warm-up, the muscles of the body are far more prone to injury. A good warm-up
prepares the body for the stress you will place your muscles under during your workout and will de-
crease your chances of becoming injured. Muscles perform better when they are warmer than normal
body temperature. Always take the time to warm-up properly. It will decrease the discomfort during
exercise and will help you get the most out of your workout.
While a 5 to 10 minute warm-up is adequate for some people, others may need a longer warm-up period
to be physiologically ready for intense eorts. Because dierent people have dierent requirements for
an adequate warm-up, the workouts in the g•force UT, do not include a specic warm-up segment.
This allows you to warm up for a period of time and at a resistance level that is appropriate for you.
Take the time to learn what your personal requirements are for warming up. Pedal slowly and at a low
resistance at rst, gradually increasing your pedal speed until you feel the muscles in your legs begin to
relax. Slowly increase your heart rate to about 110-120 beats per minute. Once you have warmed up
suciently, begin your workout. Your workout will be more enjoyable and more productive
Frequency
How often should you exercise? The number of times per week that you engage in aerobic exercise
depends largely on what your goals are and your current tness level. People new to an active lifestyle
are more likely to keep with it if they start gradually. Beginners might consider a weekly schedule that
includes days o. Seasoned athletes may workout almost every day, but even these athletes know that
easy days are essential for muscular and mental recovery. Work towards a goal of including exercise at
least 3 to 5 days per week.
Intensity
How hard should you exercise? Again, the intensity of your workout will reect your goals and your
current tness level. To achieve the greatest cardiovascular benet, and to see the most improvement in
weight loss and physical tone, you must raise your heart rate into your target zone. Your target zone is
generally between 55 to 85% of your maximum heart rate. Training in this zone is what is referred to by
exercise scientists as ‘aerobic exercise’. The CONSTANT HR program in the g•force UT is programmed
to help you exercise in the middle of this zone by maintaining your heart rate at 70% of you maximum
heart rate.

15
Duration
How long should you exercise? You should aim to complete 20 to 60 minutes of continuous activity in
your aerobic exercise zone. Keep in mind that this does not include warm-up or cool-down. A 30 minute
workout with 10 minutes warm-up and 10 minutes cool-down, ve days a week, will result in noticeable
improvement in physical conditioning.
Cool-down
Just as the warm-up is essential for preparing your muscles for vigorous exercise, the cool-down is equal-
ly important. It is tempting to simply stop pedaling as soon as you have nished your programmed
workout. You will reap greater rewards from your workout, however, if you consistently take the time for
a proper cool-down. This process is important in allowing your body’s cardiovascular system to gradu-
ally return to normal. It also allows your muscles to begin the process of recovery which will make your
next workout easier.
Over 5 to 10 minutes, gradually lower your heart rate to below 110 beats per minute by slowly decreas-
ing your exercise intensity.
Taking the time to warm-up and cool-down properly will decrease the level of discomfort you will expe-
rience when you tackle your next workout. More importantly, though, proper warm-up and cool-down
segments will greatly decrease your risk of injury.
Most importantly: Stick with your program! You already accomplished the hard part. You made the
commitment and you researched, chose, and bought the equipment to make your goals become reality.
Now it’s up to you. Remember that all of the guidelines you just read are just that – guidelines. If a 30
minute workout is too much for your current tness level, choose a duration that you can complete and
gradually increase your time. Any increase in the amount of physical activity over what you are currently
doing, is a step forward.
Remember that even the most conditioned and dedicated athletes have days in which they slip from
their training plans, make poor nutritional choices, or quit in the middle of a workout. If you nd yourself
in such a situation, think about the progress you had made previously, reevaluate your training plan, and
recommit to your goals. Keep in mind the story of Greg LeMond who came back from a near fatal injury
to win the most famous bike race in the world - not just once but twice. He too had to start over one
step at a time.

5 PROGRAM PROFILES
Dened Programs
The g•force UT has thirteen dierent workouts programmed into the console. Each PROGRAM pro-
vides dierent benets and can help you achieve your own personal tness goals, be it weight loss, in-
creasing endurance, or improving your aerobic threshold. The variety of programs allows you to use your
g•force UT for very dierent aspects of your tness program. Seasoned athletes know that varying
your routine is essential to success. A tough day of interval training or a challenging hill workout is best
followed by an easy day that allows your body to recover from the previous days eorts.
For example, you can choose a challenging workout such as a RACE against Greg LeMond on a Tuesday,
and then do a less intense, recovery ride with the CONSTANT HR workout on the following day.
These programs allow you to vary your workouts and provide you with fun and challenging ways to
jumpstart you tness program and reach your tness goals faster. Having a variety of programs available
to you, keeps you from becoming bored with your daily workout routine and more likely to stick with
your tness plan.
1 Manual
The simplest program in the g•force UT, the MANUAL program provides a workout with a constant
resistance and a time limit that you specify. At any time during the workout you can increase or de-
crease the resistance using the + or - keys.
We recommend that you use this program to become familiar with the bike and the resistance functions.

5 Heart Rate Training
The CONSTANT HR workout is programmed to help you maintain a chosen target heart rate by automati-
cally changing the level intensity during your workout.
Note: The HR programs require the use of a heart rate transmitter chest strap.
This program is an easy way to keep you from becoming lazy during your workout. It is also a good pro-
gram to make sure that you are not working too hard during a recovery ride.
The target heart rate that the computer chooses for you is based on the age you have entered during
the set up of the program. The value of your target heart rate for this program is 70% of your theo-
retical maximum heart rate. For example, the theoretical maximum heart rate for a 40 year-old is 180
bpm. The target heart rate of 70% is 126 bpm.
When setting up the CONSTANT HR program the MESSAGE DISPLAY will ask you to enter your age.
Once your age has been entered the console will calculate your target heart rate and display it on the
PROFILE DISPLAY. At this point you can change your target heart rate with the +/- Keys and then press
ENTER to accept.
The minimum target heart rate that you will be allowed to ENTER is 80. The maximum target heart
rate is 200.
During the Interval HR program, the LED matrix will show a version of the above prole. When the user
selects the HR interval program, the console will prompt them to enter the number of intervals. The
