STEP 1: SEAT ASSEMBLY & REAR STABILIZER
•Install the rear stabilizer tube(18) and secure with two 3/8” Carriage bolts (96), 3/8”
curved washers (97) and 3/8” cap nuts (98).
•Sitting next to the unit with the seat post (11) in your lap, connect the two wires together
(109 & 110). Secure the seat post to the main frame – be careful to not pinch the wires –
with the six 5/16” x 3/4” bolts (95), 5/16” split washers (73) and 5/16” flat washers (70).
•Lay the seat cushion (52) on the floor, cushion side down, and then lay the seat carriage
assembly (4 &14) on top of the seat cushion. Align the holes and secure the seat cushion
with four M6 x 15mm screws (99). Make sure seat cushion is facing the right direction.
•Secure the seat carriage assembly (4 &14) to the seat post with four 5/16” x 1-1/4” bolts
(90). Make sure these bolts are very tight. Assemble the plastic end caps (42) to the seat
carriage with four M5 x 12mm screws (81).

STEP 3: Console Mast & Seat Back
•Secure the seat back assembly (5) to the seat carriage with six 3/8” x 3/4” bolts (101) and
3/8” flat washers (71). Make sure these bolts are very tight.
•Run the two wires (107 & 109) through the bottom of the console mast and out the hole at
the top. Slide the console mast into the mating tube; pull slightly on the two wires while you
install the console mast so they do not get pinched. Secure the mast with six 5/16” x 3/4”
bolts, four 5/16” Washers (70) on the side bolts and two 5/16” curved washers (102) on the
two front bolts. Make sure to start all six bolts first before tightening all the way.

STEP 4: Console, Handle Bars and Pedals
•Install the front handlebars (3) and secure with two 5/16” x 3/4” bolts (95), 5/16” split
washers (73) and flat washers (70).
•Connect the two wires (107 & 109) to the mating connectors on the back of the console
(94) and secure the console with four M5 x 12mm screws (81). Be careful not to pinch the
wires between the console and mounting plate.
•Install the two pedals onto the crank arms. The left pedal (35) is a reverse thread so as you
turn the pedal bolt into the crank arm turn it counter-clockwise as if you are loosening it.
The right side pedal (36) is a normal thread so tighten it clockwise. Make sure the pedals
are as tight as you can possibly get them. It may be necessary to re-tighten them again
after a few hours of use.

Foot pedals
Through research performed with a leading sports scientist and physical rehabilitation expert the
engineers at Xterra have developed a breakthrough in pedal design. Typical stationary exercise
bikes are wider than a normal road bike to allow for the braking mechanism, pulleys, drive
components and beauty covers. Since the bike is wider, so is the distance between the pedals; this
width between the pedals is called the Q factor.
Xterra has designed our pedal system so the Q factor is the smallest in the industry, but we did not
stop there. We have also custom designed and tooled a new pedal that provides a two degree
inward tilt to compensate for the Q factor not being perfect. Having a small Q factor in addition to
the two degree inward tilt of the pedals puts the user into a biomechanical neutral alignment. This
means that your feet, ankles, knees and hips are lined up properly so you can workout more
comfortably for a longer time.
Transportation
The bike is equipped with two transport wheels, which are engaged when rear of the Bike is lifted.

Power up
The Bike is supplied with an external power supply. When power is connected to the Bike, the
console will automatically power up. If there is no input to the console for 20 minutes the console
will go to stand-by mode to save energy. To turn the console on press any key.
When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the lights
will turn on. When the lights go off the dot matrix display will show a software version (i.e.: VER 1.0)
and the time and distance windows will display an odometer reading. The odometer reading
displays how many hours the bike has been used and how many virtual miles the bike has gone.
The odometer will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the start up
display. The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different workout profiles of the
programs and operating instructions. You may now begin to use the console.
Operation of Your Bike Console

Console Operation
Quick Start mode
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start key
to begin. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero and the workload may be adjusted
manually by pressing the Up or Down keys. The dot matrix display will show a 1/4-mile track with a
lap counter in the center to monitor your progress (initially shows “¼ Mi”, the lap counter starts after
the first lap). Pressing the Enter key will switch the display from track to a hill type profile. To the
right of the dot matrix is a number that indicates your work level.
Basic information and functions:
The Data displays:
•Calories show an accumulation of calories burned (Kcal). The number shown is just an
estimate; your actual calorie burn most likely will be different. The only way to get an
accurate calorie reading is in a laboratory setting connected to a host of machines.
•Time shows elapsed time unless you set the timer to count down.
•Segment Time counts down the time left in the current segment (column) of the profile.
•Pulse indicates your heart rate if you are grasping the hand pulse sensors.
•RPM displays your pedaling speed in revolutions per minute.
•Speed shows your speed in miles per hour if there is an ‘M’ displayed in the distance
window and kilometers per hour if ‘Km’ is displayed.
•Distance displays accumulated mileage.
The Bike has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors on
the stationary handle bars will start the heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Pulse
Display Window will display your heart rate, or Pulse, in beats per minute.
The Stop/Reset button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop/Reset key once during a
program will Pause the program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or any
of the many things that could interrupt your workout, this is a great feature. To resume your workout
during Pause just press the Start key. If the Stop/Reset button is pressed twice during a workout the
program will end and a summary of your workout is displayed. If the Stop/Reset key is held down
for 3 seconds the console will perform a complete Reset.
There is an Audio Input Jack on the front of the console and built-in speakers. You may plug any
low-level audio source signal into this port. Audio sources include MP3, Ipod, portable radio, CD
player or even a TV or computer audio signal.
Programming the console
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your
needs. Some of the information asked for during programming is necessary to ensure the readouts
are correct. You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the
Heart Rate control program to ensure the correct settings are entered in the program. Entering your
Weight aides in calculating a more correct Calorie reading; although we cannot provide an exact
calorie count we do want to be as close as possible.

A message about Calories: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is
in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to
monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn
accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every person is
different and burns calories at a different rate.
Entering a program/Changing Settings
Press the program keys to scroll through the program selections. The profile for each program will
be displayed in the dot matrix window. Press the enter key to select a program and begin
customizing the settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings then just press the
Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of your
workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the
message window. If you start a program without changing the settings, the default settings will be
used.
NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last Age
and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter an age and weight the
first time you use the Bike you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either your
age or weight changes or someone else enters a different age and weight.
Programming:
Manual
The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the
workload yourself and not the computer.
1. Press the Manual program button then press the Enter key.
2. The message window will ask you to enter your Age. You may adjust the age setting using
the Up and Down keys, then press enter to continue.
3. The message window will ask you to enter your Weight. You may adjust the weight setting
using the Up and Down keys, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and
proceed on to the next screen.
4. Next is the Time. You may adjust the Time and press enter to continue.
5. Now you are finished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start
key.
6. Once the program starts the bike will be set to level one. This is the easiest level and it is a
good idea to stay at level one for a while to warm up. If you want to increase the work load at
any time press the Up key; the Down key will decrease the workload.
7. During the Manual program you will be able to switch between a quarter mile track or profile
display in the dot matrix window by pressing the enter key.
8. When the program ends the message window will show a summary of your workout. The
summary will be displayed for a short time then the console will return to the start-up display.

Preset Programs
The Bike has seven different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These
seven programs have factory preset profiles for achieving different goals.
P-1 Sunrise
The Sunrise program simulates going up and down a gentle hill early in the morning. The
resistance in the pedals will steadily increase and then decrease during the program.
P-2 Journey
The Journey program is designed to maximize the burning of fat, a lifelong journey for some of us.
There are many schools of thought on the best way to burn fat, but most experts agree that a lower
exertion level that stays at a steady workload is the best. The absolute best way to burn fat is to
keep your heart rate at around 60% to 70% of its maximum potential. This program does not use
heart rate but simulates a lower, steady exertion workout.
P-3 Wild Ride
The Wild Ride program is designed to increase your cardio vascular function; this is exercise for
your heart and lungs. It will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity.
This is achieved by incorporating a higher level of exertion with slight fluctuations in work….a real
Wild Ride!
P-4 Xtreme
The Xtreme program is designed to increase muscular strength in your lower body with extreme
resistance. This program will steadily increase in resistance to a high level and then keeps you
there. This is designed to strengthen and tone your legs and glutes.

Xterra SB440r Bike
18
P-5 Canyons
The Canyons program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by periods of low intensity.
This program increases your endurance by depleting your oxygen level followed by periods of
recovery to replenish oxygen. Your cardio vascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more
efficiently this way.
P-6 Thrill Hill
The Thrill Hill program combines a few types of workout in one, with variations of cardio and
strength portions to give you a thrill.
P-7 X-Country
The X-Country program simulates a cross country run across uneven terrain.
