Bikes are, for most people, quite easy to use or to learn and, even though Intenza bikes are engineered to exacting performance standards, they remain easy to use. We strive for design that is logical, understandable and, most importantly, usable: – Easy-on, easy-off access with low crossover design – Facility operators can preset maximum usage times during peak hours – so everybody gets a chance to enjoy the Intenza machines. – Large, 18-character LED message center provides a clear visual of all information needed including: – Heart rate, resistance level, time, RPM, calories, watts, distance, speed, workout summary, and workout profile. – 40 resistance levels – 7 watts minimum (level 1 at 20 RPM), 640 watts maximum (level 40 at 150 RPM – OptiTrain ™ fitness modes sustain the challenge without the guesswork – Bike mode allows users to workout at a fixed resistance level regardless of pedal speed. – Power mode allows users to workout at a fixed workload measured in Watts so pedal speed adjusts resistance. – Download workout results easily to USB for work rate analysis and performance training purposes.
