It is THE indoor training bicycle! The Wattbike was created in partnership with British Cycling to provide an affordable indoor bike for training, coaching and testing suitable for everyone from school children to Olympic Gold Medallists. Loads of information on www.wattbike.com. This is real athlete kit, not a ‘Spin®’ bike.
The key difference between the Wattbike and every other indoor bike is that the Wattbike accurately measures power output in Watts (with verified third party tests, not ‘in-house’ figures). Within seconds you can be accurately measuring your power output, your pedalling technique and heart rate.
Simple Operation
Operating the Wattbike is very easy. Simply adjust the bike to your body, sit on the Wattbike, select ‘Just ride’ from the ‘Main menu’ and start pedalling. The Wattbike Performance Computer will give immediate cycling feedback. The monitor has a powerful list of features and it is simple to use, linking to the Wattbike Hub and popular cycling apps. The Wattbike Pro does not need a mains power supply, which is great for event logistics.
The bars and seat post are easily adjusted between different participants.
Dual Braking System
The Wattbike features a patent protected dual braking system to enable it to recreate the feeling of cycling on the flat and climbing.
Air-braking system
The air-braking system recreates the feel of cycling on the flat using different gears. The ‘gear lever’ can be moved from ‘1’ through to ‘10’, where ‘1’ represents the lowest gear and ‘10’ the highest. The lever regulates the flow of air entering the turbine. By increasing the aperture the flow of air and therefore the resistance is increased.
For most situations the rider will only need to apply the air-braking gear system. You can adjust the ‘gear’ during a workout, just as you would on a road cycle and the sensation is just the same.
Magnetic Braking System
The addition of a magnetic braked flywheel allows the rider to recreate the feel of climbing. The ‘Climb/magnetic’ control rotates clockwise through one complete turn and is marked ‘1’ through to ‘7’, where ‘1’ represents a level road and ‘7’ a very steep one. The effect isn’t linear though as the action of rotating moves a set of magnets closer to the flywheel, so the resulting effect is more logarithmic.
The combination of both systems means that the Wattbike can be used at high cadence low wattage at one training extreme or low cadence high wattage at the other.
Wattbike App
The Wattbike Hub App is a free training and analysis platform designed to enhance your indoor cycling experience. It connects to your Wattbike to provide structured workouts, customized training plans, and live pedalling technique feedback.
