INTRODUCTION
SLIM CYCLE ™
Congratulations on purchasing the Slim Cycle™, one of the highest
performance stationary bikes on the tness market. The Slim Cycle™
will oer you an excellent whole body workout through the inclu-
sion 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 signicant engagement through the core and
upper-body to control the lower-body. The Slim Cycle™ uses a
unique and revolutionary handlebar system to mimic and access this
level of realistic intensity. Welcome to the Slim Cycle™ revolution!

thoroughly tested for proper operation. In order to minimize

receiving the package check for any damage. Discuss and point
out any damage to the delivery person and have them record any
damage on the delivery paperwork. Contact Customer Service to
