t BODY BIKE®, we don’t think test facilities should be hidden away behind the scenes. We want to get our products out there, being used, put through their paces by exercisers. We want our bikes to be pushed to the limit and beyond. That’s why we’re so proud to unveil our new test facility in our home town of Frederikshavn, Denmark, in collaboration with Sports Center Nord. The new facility will primarily serve as Sports Center Nord’s indoor cycling studio, used to deliver daily group workouts to the club’s members… but it will also serve as BODY BIKE’s external testing facility, demo studio and showroom, complementing our head office and production facility which are already located in the city. The perfect experience The new test facility features 20 brand new BODY BIKE SMART®+ bikes, as well as Intelli-
gent Cycling’s virtual training software and instructor tools. Intelligent Cycling is based on watt and individual FTP (Functional Threshold Power). Riders can either estimate or test their FTP, and can then adjust their cycling resistance and cadence as they progress through a workout, making sure they’re following a simple colour-coded scale throughout. It’s easy for riders at all levels to follow, and ensures everyone gets the right intensity of workout based on their current fitness levels. This is all brought to life using Intelligent Cycling´s virtual reality platform – The Journey – which overlays futuristic footage of virtual cycling tracks onto the intervals of the workout, drawing riders into the workout and visually inspiring and motivating them to dig deep for those climbs.
