If feedback from your workout is what you want then the Life Fitness IC5 Indoor Cycle is the first bike you should look at. It has everything the Life Fitness IC4 Indoor Bike offers but with an advanced console and internal engineering and technology that guarantees an extremely accurate workout that can be replicated every time. First of all lets check out the internal technology that the Life Fitness IC5 offers. Power meter training is becoming wide spread amongst pro riders and is being taken up by amateur riders as well. On the Life Fitness IC5 cycle computer the users power output is displayed in watts and this performance data can be applied to training programmes to maximise workout results. However its important that the watt output is accurate and accurate every time and if used in a spin class consistent with every bike.
The Life Fitness IC5 Cycle achieves this precision by a patent pending flywheel with a positioning sensor measuring the resistance applied to the magnetic brake. Where it gets more technical and clever is the flywheel has a sensor that measure the magnets position. This first ever application to an indoor cycle means that every IC5 bike will accurately display resistance levels on the WattRate LCD computer and the resistance curve will be identical every time on every bike. If you run a spin class then you know everyone is getting an identical workout. However if you buy a Life Fitness IC5 for your home you can still replicate the workout from the class and know its exactly the same. The WattRate LCD computer features a fully integrated LCD screen with on-demand backlight function.
Located above the LCD screen is an option called Coach By Colour. This is a small LED indicator light above the LCD screen that has five colour changes based on the intensity of your workout whether that be Heart Rate training or Watt training programmes. This adds a new dimension not only to training at home but to group cycling classes as well where it puts power based training in the hands of the instructors. With the WattRate LCD computer there has never been a better time to get connected. Via Bluetooth 4.0 and ANT+ you can now pair your training applications to view, save and track workout history. With the ability to track your performance, or connect to any digital training platforms or your own personal devices, there has never been a better time to ride. Without doubt the Life Fitness IC5 Indoor Cycle delivers a powerful experience that leaves its higher priced competitors envious.
