Technogym Introduces SKILLBIKE
T
echnogym has introduced a new stationary bike designed to enable cyclists, triathletes and cycling enthusiasts to live the
emotion and challenge of outdoor ex- periences in an indoor environment. SKILLBIKE™ includes exclusive fea-
tures specifically designed for athletic and performance training; it is the first indoor bike with real gear. The REAL GEAR SHIFT patent allows users to replicate the dynamics of hill riding. By shifting gears, riders can counter the change in resistance and main- tain the correct power and cadence for maximum efficiency, while the con- sole displays the gear ratio selections in real time. Real Gear Shift enables the unique MULTIDRIVE TECHNOLOGYTM
that
allows riders to switch from pow- er based training routines to hill climbing simulations. This improves strength and endurance as well as maximizing efficiency in a new and engaging way. To offer the same feeling of outdoor
riding, SKILLBIKE’s RIDING DESIGN reproduces the biomechanics of

teractive product: the integrated 7” co- lour LCD connected console provides all of the relevant data of your perfor- mance with real-time feedback on ca- dence, watts, speed, distance, gradient, heart rate, selected gear and gear ra- tio. Thanks to its PEDAL PRINTING™ technology, SKILLBIKE also offers feedback on the circularity and sym- metry of your pedalling at different gear ratios to monitor and increase your efficiency. SKILLBIKE also features a wide
range of training programs, targeted routines and routes to fit your goals and performance tests in order to eval- uate your threshold power and choose the best training level. SKILLBIKE is integrated with STRAVA, GARMIN and
