Cycle Simulator - Designed by a team of exercise physiologists and engineers, the Cycle Simulator ergometer is a precision piece of machinery. An ergometer is a device that is capable of measuring power. Our ergometer is designed specifically for our training program. It allows us to prescribe workloads, simulate racecourses and collect data. Our training methods are so precise and unconventional that we had to go to great lengths to design the perfect machine to make this all possible. |

Flywheel - We use a sturdy construction with a 160-pound flywheel and standard bicycle gears. The heavy flywheel is designed to simulate the inertia of a riding cyclist and gives the rider a realistic sensation. Have you ever ridden a stationary trainer and experienced how quickly the wheel stops? Or sprinted and felt the wheel-hop or skip on the trainer? Or even worse, blow out your tire on the trainer? This doesn’t happen on our Cycle Simulator. You can ride as hard as you want with no worries. |

Brake - The Cycle Simulator uses a constant torque friction brake that allows the rider to dial in a precise constant torque on the flywheel (1). This allows CycleSimulator to prescribe a specific training resistance for the athlete. Since the riding is indoors, it also allows us to take away any extraneous variables such as wind, traffic, stoplights, vicious dogs and other pesky riders with their own training agenda. |

Bicycle Frame - The Cycle Simulator is designed to replicate the biomechanics a rider has on his or her own bicycle. The adjustable frame allows for the use of gears and shifters. Our flywheel is equipped to accept a Shimano freehub body giving the cyclist many gears to choose from. Many other cycle ergometers do not allow the rider to replicate their position, allow them to use clipless pedals, various crank lengths or a choice of gears. |
