How These Modes Work
Manual
Mode
Manual control mode changes workload in 10-watt increments.
The workload stays the same at any pedal cadence (called
constant power control) unless you drop below 55 rpm. Below 55
rpm, workload is reduced along with pedal cadence, to prevent
the sensation of the pedals “locking up.”
Three different preset programs are available:
• C-V Workout, with the workload gradually rising until
you reach the middle of your workout time, then
gradually decreasing to the end.
• Weight Loss, with a warmup stage increasing to a
steady-state workload for the majority of the workout,
then a cool-down at the end.
• Hill Interval, with four work intervals separated by four
rest intervals.
The Random program creates a different program profile each
time you press the
key.
Sixteen different levels are available to change the difficulty of a
program. The workload intensities expand and contract
depending on the level.
