Part 3: Ride Mode
Ride Mode allows you to set the individual levels of
your workout while it’s in progress. It does not follow
a pre-programmed workout.
3.1: Ride Mode Display
When you enter Ride Mode, the unit automatically
fi nds the resistance unit and sensors. After a mo-
ment, the display will show a screen like the one
below.
The screen is divided into six boxes, each of which
tracks a different aspect of the workout. The active
box is highlighted with solid lines. When a box is
active, you can make adjustments to it by pressing
select. Press the mode button to toggle between
the six boxes. To return to the main menu (see Part
2), press and hold mode and select together for two
seconds.
3.2: Level
The level is measured in one of two ways, slope or
watts. Slope measures grade steepness of your simu-
lated climb. Watts sets a target power output for you
to meet. To switch between slope and watts, press
the select button while the level box is highlighted.
You can choose a grade between 0 and 10 for the
slope. The higher the number, the steeper the slope
you’re climbing. Use the arrow buttons with any box
active to increase or decrease the slope.
While in slope mode, the trainer provides the re-
sistance for the selected slope at whatever speed
you’re riding. The faster you pedal, the more resis-
tance you’ll need to overcome, just like riding up an
actual hill. The resistance the CycleOps PowerBeam
