WICHTIGE SICHERHEITSHINWEISE
1. It is the sole responsibility of the owner
to ensure that all users of the indoor
cycle are informed of all warnings and
precautions by an authorized trainer or
instructor prior to use.
2. Operate and maintain the indoor cycle
only as described in this manual and
after proper assembly and functionality
check (see page 5-10).
3. Keep the indoor cycle indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not place the
indoor cycle in a garage or covered patio
or near water.
4. Place the indoor cycle on a level surface.
To protect the floor or carpet from
damage, place a mat beneath the indoor
cycle. Make sure that there is adequate
room around the indoor cycle to mount,
dismount, and operate it.
5. Regularly inspect and properly tighten all
parts of the indoor cycle as
recommended in this manual. Please
replace defective parts immediately and
do not use the bike until repair is
performed. Only use original parts from
the manufacturer.
6. Children under the age of 18 should only

10. The indoor cycle does not have an
independently moving flywheel
(wheel); the pedals will continue to
move together with the flywheel until
the flywheel stops.

Due to the weight of the indoor cycle, it is recommended that two people
perform the assembly. Set the cycle in a cleared area and remove all packing
materials; do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.
1. Identify the rear stabilizer. Orient
the rear stabilizer so the widest parts
of the stabilizer end caps (A) are at
the rear.
While a second person lifts the rear of
the frame, attach the rear stabilizer to
the frame with two M10 x 60mm bolts
(B), four M10 washers, a stabilizer
gasket (C), two plastic washers (D),
and two M10 cap nuts as shown.
2. Orient the front stabilizer so the
widest parts of the stabilizer end caps
(A) are at the front.
While a second person lifts the front
of the frame, attach the front
stabilizer to the frame with two M10 x
60mm bolts (B), four M10 washers, a
stabilizer gasket (C), two plastic
washers (D), and two M10 cap nuts.
It is important that the plastic
washers (D) and PVC gasket (C)
used on the front and rear
stabilizers are mounted in the
correct manner and used to
prevent direct contact of metal
surfaces

3. Turn the rear adjustment knob
(A) counter clockwise and pull the
adjustment knob to insert the
saddle post (B) into the frame.
Next, bring the saddle post to the
desired height, release the
adjustment knob so the pin
engages into the holes of the
saddle post. Then turn the
adjustment knob clockwise to
retighten until it is snug. Then
place the horizontal saddle
support (C) into the slider bracket
and connect it from beneath with
the small adjustment knob (D).
Please don’t adjust the height of
the vertical saddle support
beyond the stop mark to avoid
instability.
4. Loosen the M8 bolt on the
lower side of the aluminium
saddle bracket (A) several turns
without removing it. Next, turn
the upper part of the saddle
clamp (B) one quarter of a turn,
and set the rails of the saddle in
the grooves of the lower saddle
clamp. Then, lift the upper saddle
clamp, turn it back to its original
position, and set it on top of the
rails. Finally, firmly retighten the
bolt and make sure that the
saddle is mounted in its most
horizontal position at the middle
of the rail.

7. Identify the Right pedal.
Carefully insert the right pedal into
the crank arm by hand turning it
clockwise assuring that it is aligned
horizontally. Using a 15mm pedal
wrench, firmly tighten the right
pedal clockwise into the right crank
arm. Repeat the same procedure for
the left pedal but in a counter
clockwise motion.
The manufacturer recommends
the use of semi loctite to mount
the pedals and to avoid that
pedals become loose while
riding.
8. Make sure that the brake pad is thoroughly soaked with lubricant (WD-40)
BEFORE the indoor cycle is used. Also make sure there is a space (approx. as
thin as a credit card) between the brake pad and flywheel on the lowest
resistance setting. This precaution will avoid extensive wear on the brake
pad. To protect the floor or carpet, place a mat under the indoor cycle.

The indoor cycle can be adjusted for maximum comfort and exercise effectiveness.
The instructions below describe one approach to adjusting the indoor cycle to ensure
optimal user comfort and ideal body positioning; you may choose to adjust the indoor
cycle differently.
PEDAL STRAP ADJUSTMENT
Sit on the saddle and position your feet on the pedals, with the balls of your feet
directly above the spindles of the pedals (see the drawing below). Adjust the pedal
straps so the toe clips (cages) are snug but not too tight. Note: In the case of a bike
being fitted with combi-pedals, the pedals feature toe clips on one surface and SPD
cleats on the opposite surface. If desired, use the shoe cleats with cycling shoes
instead of the toe clips.
SADDLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Sit on the saddle and slowly pedal until the right pedal is in the lowest position. Your
knees should be slightly bent without a dropping of the hips. To avoid hyper
extending your knees, make sure that your legs are not completely straight.
