2.2: Using the Wattrate LCD+ Computer

Power

Power is provided to the bike and console by pedaling. The pedaling cadence and duration will affect how long the console remains on and how long the workout details are displayed on the console, after you stop pedaling.

Charging

Pedaling the indoor cycle at > 50 RPM for 1 minute will completely charge it. When the indoor cycle is fully charged and is no longer being pedaled, the user LED will start to blink after 2.5 minutes, signaling that the console will turn off soon. Restarting pedaling will continue charging and extend power on time.

Background Brightness

If the background brightness of the console is set to medium or high in the general settings, the display will remain dim until a cadence of > 50 RPM is achieved. If the cadence drops below 50 RPM, the display will save energy and dim to low brightness until the pedaling cadence is increased.

In Power Training, the trainer facing and user facing Coach By Color LED's will be activated when > 50 RPM's are achieved. If the cadence falls below 45 RPM, the LED's will turn off and come back on once you reach > 50 RPM.

Accuracy

The average displayed values on the indoor cycle are accurate within +/- 5 % at 50 - 120 RPM's at a power of 50 - 400 watts.

2.3: Definition Terms and Abbreviations

COACH BY COLOR® (CBC)

Power-orientated (WattRate®) or heart rate-oriented training guidance based on individual user settings by training zones depicted in color.

WATT

Unit of power which is calculated based on the time during which work is done. The calculation is carried out using the formula: Power (measured in Watts) = force x speed.

WATTRATE®

Direct measurement of the power rendered by the cyclist in real time.

FTP

Functional Threshold Power®, also termed FTP Index. Power delivered in Watts to the functional threshold power (FTP = 100% corresponds to the aerobic/anaerobic power threshold).

FTP%

Functional Threshold Power® in per cent. Information on the current power with respect to the FTP value in per cent FTP% = (current power in Watts / FTP) x 100.

RPM

Revolutions Per Minute, Cadence, pedaling frequency (PFQ), Revolutions Per Minute (R / min).

HR

Heart Rate.

HR MAX %

Information on the current heart rate with respect to the maximum heart rate in percent HR MAX % = (current HR / HR max) x 100.

BPM

Beats per Minute relates to the heart rate of the user in this manual.

TSS®

TSS® allows an endurance athlete the ability to quantify their workouts based on their relative intensity, duration, and frequency of workouts.

IF®

IF® is an indication of how hard or difficult a ride was in relation to your overall fitness.

EFFORT POINTS

Calculated for your workout depending on the amount of time you ride in the individual training zones. They are displayed in the upper left-hand corner of the LCD display during a power or heart rate training and the accumulated effort points may also be displayed during Connect workouts.

Given points for 1 minute of riding in each zone:

1 Effort point 0-55% of your FTP / 50 – 59% of your HRM
2 Effort points 56-75% of your FTP / 60 - 69% of your HRM
3 Effort points 76-90% of your FTP / 70 – 79% of your HRM
4 Effort points 91-105% of your FTP / 80 – 89% of your HRM
5 Effort points 106-120% of your FTP / 90 - 95% of your HRM
5.5 Effort points 121- +150% of your FTP / 96 – 100% of your HRM

2.4: Coach by Color®

Coach by Color® training concept

The 5 color zones used by ICG (white, blue, green, yellow, red) can be used based on the power (watts) of every user of the bike. The training zones are based on the current power in relation to the individual FTP (Functional Threshold Power®) value. The same principle of calculating training zones applies when using the maximum heart rate (HR max) and a compatible heart rate sensor. As soon as the max HR or the individual FTP value are known, the personal training zones can be worked out accordingly and in doing so the intensity can be displayed by the colors during the training session based on the heart rate or watts. Using the FTP power test (ramp test integrated into the computer), the user has the option to monitor both current performance and progress.

Caution: The power test should only be carried out under the supervision and guidance of a qualified Instructor or Trainer.

In both Power Training and Heart Rate Training the user has the option to turn off the Coach by Color® Training Guidance by selecting Color Mode OFF if he / she wishes.

4.5: FTP Ramp Test

The FTP (power) test makes it possible to determine a user‘s individual FTP value in an evaluation test, or to monitor the workout progress. The test is designed as a so-called “ramp test“. As soon as the test is started, a target value of 75 watts (+/- 15 W) is specified. The user taking the test is now requested to maintain a constant and comfortable cadence of between 70 and 90 RPM throughout the entire test and to turn the resistance dial to set the resistance so that the target value is achieved. The target value must be reached within a window of max +/- 15 W deviation, otherwise the CBC LED changes to red. If the target value is met, the CBC LED changes to green. The target value increases every 4 minutes by 25 watts and the test can be ended at any time. After the first target value is reached after 4 minutes (75 watts for 4 minutes), the result is shown after ending the test. If it is interrupted beforehand, the test fails. If you are notified that you have been outside the target range for longer than 24 seconds within a 4 minute ramp then a FTP value will be calculated but we would suggest you repeat the test for a more accurate result.

Please note that only fully completed ramps (4 minutes) are taken into consideration for the test results.

Caution: The integrated FTP (power) test in the form of a 4 minute Ramp Test represents a subjective test, which the user can end at any point.
Caution: The FTP (power) test should only be carried out under the supervision of a qualified and experienced trainer or instructor.
Caution: It is recommended to constantly monitor the heart rate during the test, in order to control the physical exertion caused by the output power. Over-exertion must under no circumstances take place. Please also take note of the Medical Disclaimer.

4.6: FTP 5 Minute Test

The 5 minute Functional Threshold Power test determines your FTP value and gives a personal value for setting intensity making your workouts more effective and allowing you to monitor your fitness progress.

The test is carried out by riding at a maximum sustainable effort of resistance for the full 5 minutes and by staying within the target cadence range of 80 - 100 RPM. The CBC LED will light Green if you are pedaling within the cadence range and Red if you are pedaling too slow or too fast. If necessary during the test you may adjust the resistance during the test to achieve your maximum power output within the cadence range of 80 - 100 RPM's. Staying within the cadence range as much as possible will provide a more accurate test result.

Note: Before you start the test, be sure you have completed a full warm up.
Caution: The integrated FTP (power) test in the form of a 5 minute test represents a subjective test, which the user can end at any point.
Caution: The FTP (power) test should only be carried out under the supervision of a qualified and experienced trainer or instructor.

  1. A 60 second countdown will commence the start of the test.
  2. Begin pedaling and adjust the resistance and maintain the correct cadence.
  3. Once you have finished the test, perform a proper COOL DOWN.
  4. Note your FTP value for future use with Coach by Color Power Training and monitoring your fitness progress.

4.7: FTP 20 Minute Test

The 20 minute Functional Threshold Power test determines your FTP value and gives a personal value for setting intensity making your workouts more effective and allowing you to monitor your fitness progress.

The test is carried out by riding at a maximum sustainable effort of resistance for the full 20 minutes and by staying within the target cadence range of 70 - 100 RPM. The Coach by Color LED will light Green if you are pedaling within the cadence range and Red if you are pedaling too slow or too fast. If necessary during the test you may adjust the resistance during the test to achieve your maximum power output within the cadence range of 70 - 100 RPM's. Staying within the cadence range as much as possible will provide a more accurate test result.
