Before Using your Cycle
How to adjust the Seat and Handlebar
Adjusting the Resistance
EMERGENCY STOP feature
How to Level your Indoor Cycle
Moving your Indoor Cycle
The resistance level of the magnetic brake can be adjusted by rotating the ADJUSTMENT KNOB.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase resistance and counter-clockwise to decrease resistance.
The SEAT SADDLE and HANDLEBAR are adjustable with both vertical and fore/aft adjustments.
There is a convenient index scale on the seat and handlebar post for reference. When making an
adjustment, if you find that you do not have room to turn the handle of the LOCKING LEVER you
can disengage it by pulling the handle out and rotating it into a different position.
The ADJUSTMENT KNOB is also the EMERGENCY STOP. In order to stop the flywheel / crank
motion, PUSH DOWN on the ADJUSTMENT KNOB. The cycle will quickly come to a stop.
Warning! This indoor cycle is direct drive, it does not free wheel. The pedals and
flywheel move together so reducing speed in a controlled manner is required.
There are adjustable LEVELERS under the front and rear stabilizers. Is important that you level the
bike once you have it placed in its final location. Be sure to tighten the Leveler Jam Nuts up into the
stabilizer once you have the bike leveled.
Your indoor cycle is equipped with TRANSPORT WHEELS on the Handlebar side. If the bike
rocks or shakes after relocating it, re-level the bike as explained above.
Warning! This cycle is very heavy. To reduce the risk of injury it is highly
recommended that two people are used to move it. The transport wheels should only
be used on solid level surfaces.
Once you have routed the strap through the toe cage, open the spring-loaded buckle and feed the
strap between the roller coil and the teeth as shown below. The excess strap can be fed into the
retaining slot. Note: When routing the strap through the pedal assembly, confirm that it is not
twisted.

Preventative Maintenance and Cleaning
The life of the bike will be determined by how consistent maintenance is
performed.
Items recommended for Cleaning/Preventive Maintenance:
●Pedal Wrench
●Metric Allen Wrench Set
●Metric Socket Set
●Non-Abrasive Cleaner (or warm soapy water)
●Soft Absorbent Cloths
IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasives or petroleum-based cleaning products.
Using a mixture of soap and water will do. Never spray cleaner directly onto
the frame, instead spray it onto the soft cloth you will be using to clean the
bike.
Wipe down the bike at the end of each workout to help prevent rust and
corrosion.
What parts of the bike to wipe down/clean: (Wipe down all areas where
perspiration can settle using an absorbent cloth. It's a good idea to raise the seat and
handlebar post to expose this moisture).
1. Handlebar
2. Flywheel
3. Front stabilizer Assembly
4. Rear stabilizer Assembly
5. Belt covers
6. Tension/Brake Knob/Lever
7. Lock Levers
8. Leveling Pads and Caps
DAILY COMPONENTS INSPECTION:
1. Pedals: Using a Pedal Wrench, verify that the pedals are not loose.
2. Seat Saddle: Confirm that it does not wobble or rotate and that it is secure to the
seat post.
3. Levelers: Inspect that the bike does not rock and is level to the floor.
4. Toe Cage/Straps: Inspect for damage and proper installation.
5. Water Bottle Holder: Inspect for damage.
BI-WEEKLY INSPECTION:
1. Crank Arms: Use a Foot pound torque wrench set at 30-35 lbs.
2. Water Bottle Holder: Tighten assembly screws
3. Handlebar & Seat Slides/Posts: Lubricate with Silicone Spray. Do not use
solvents.
4. Inspect major moving parts that require proper torque and which, if ignored,
can cause injury or damage to the indoor cycle.
5. Inspect all exposed hardware: all bolts, screws and nuts must be secure and
tight.
