WattBike – Pro Trainer
The Wattbike Pro is an Indoor Bike with a difference. Loved by Olympic champions and endorsed by British Cycling, it’s designed to feel just like your road bike. It takes 100 measurements with each revolution of the pedals and gives you data on 40 different aspects of your Cycling. The Wattbike Pro is for burning calories, building stamina and getting a brilliant cardio workout, whatever the weather. If you want to get serious about cycling, you can use the bike’s integrated technology to improve your technique, push yourself harder, and track your progress. The Wattbike Pro is for cycling devotees who want to get better, quicker. It is also for fitness fans who is looking for a champion workout session, and anyone else keen to get fitter and stronger.
The spin on WattBike
WattBike’s Polar Cadence feature is what sets the WattBike Pro apart from the many trainers collecting dust in our closets. With a 100-time-per-second sampling rate, and a power meter built into the bike, the WattBike gives highly accurate cadence and power data confirmed by several peer-reviewed studies of the WattBike’s accuracy. This allows the WattBike to display a real-time spin scan including left-right balance, angle of peak force, and even a graphic representation of your pedalling technique.
To brake or not to brake
WattBike put a lot of research and time into creating a realistic “road” feel. Certainly, the large integrated flywheel made the WattBike Pro feel better than most trainers The WattBike uses a dual braking system — both wind resistance and magnetic resistance. The combination allows for high cadence/low power on one end and low cadence/high power on the other. WattBike’s “air brake” is similar to changing gears while the magnetic system emulates climbing. WattBike is a feedback tool measuring precisely the power you are creating rather than the bike dictating the power. This is a better representation of what the rider is doing.” WattBike focuses on improving technique, “If you aren’t a smooth rider, the watts will fluctuate.” This isn’t the case with an electronic brake. Basic interval workouts can also be programmed and stored on the WattBike computer Many cyclists, especially sprinters and track riders, use trainers for high-cadence work at low wattage. At even the lowest resistance, to ride 130 RPM a rider would have to put out 360 watts. A track rider will often do cadence work upwards of 160 RPM, which would require riding above a prohibitive 500 watts. Low power cadence work is possible with the Trainer model.
Measuring up or just out for a ride
WattBike emphasizes competition and testing, offering a variety of time- and distance-based tests that you can upload to see how you compare against other WattBike users. It’s also possible to download and race against tests from WattBike elite athletes, race your own past workouts, or even hook two WattBikes together to race.
Data export and analysis
Where the WattBike appears to be second-to-none is in its wealth of data and analysis both during and post-workout. Over 40 variables are monitored from basic power, heart rate and cadence data, to efficiency, time-to-force peak, angle-of-force peak, and left-right leg balance. Workouts can be downloaded to the PC-based Expert software for an in-depth analysis of both individual rides and a variety of trends over time. Currently, workouts stored on the WattBike computer can only be exported to WattBike’s proprietary format or to Training Peaks. However, the WattBike can transmit power, cadence, speed, and heart-rate data live to any ANT+ compatible phone or device such as a Garmin 510.
Simplicity encased
The WattBike’s clear advantage is its simplicity. The Pro is factory calibrated and WattBike never needs to be re-calibrated. Starting a workout is as easy as slipping on your shoes and pressing the “Just Ride” button. The WattBike allows you to quickly match your road bike position. The handlebar-mounted computer is well placed and provides a wealth of features and the PC-based software, with a great graphical representation of your pedal stroke, is just a USB cable away.
