AIR POWER
Star Trac introduced an air-driven bike that delivers simultaneous upper and lower body exercise through a distinctive isokinetic resistance mechanism. The Turbo Trainer’s fl ywheel design displaces air at a rate that
matches the effort put in by its user, meaning that the harder the fl ywheel is turned, the greater the isokinetic resistance. Those using the machine can measure workout metrics including elapsed time, distance, kilocalories, RPM and telemetric heart rate when using a chest strap. The bike has been designed with durability in mind and can be used anywhere in a gym space, as it’s self-powered and doesn’t require electricity to operate.
