FEATURES OF THE STUDIO CYCLE
Measuring Watts
Each studio cycle is calibrated to measure your power
output and to allow you to monitor your watts and
RPMs directly on the console.
By monitoring your watts and RPMs, you can see
how hard you are training and make sure that you are
challenging yourself and improving.
The Incline System
The studio cycle can incline and decline to realistically
simulate outdoor terrain. When you use or create map
workouts of training routes with iFIT®(see the console
instructions beginning on page 18 for more informa-
tion), the studio cycle will automatically incline and
decline to match the real-world terrain.
Interactive Wireless Touchscreen Console
The wireless touchscreen console works with iFIT to
provide an interactive and immersive in-home studio
experience that allows you to participate virtually in
group studio classes led by personal trainers and to
experience workouts around the world.
