Part 3: Which Power Curve is Right for Me?
Easy Setting
Interval Setting
You can change the resistance of the trainer to meet your unique goals and fi tness levels. As you get fi tter
and your goals change, the CycleOps SuperMagneto
TM
Pro grows along with you.
Intensity and duration of training will vary drastically from athlete to athlete. Whether you are training to
increase endurance, to lose weight, to be at the front of the pack on your weekly group ride, or are warming
up for races, the CycleOps SuperMagneto
TM
Pro offers enough variety to address all these training needs and
more. The four settings offer four distict power curves, each calculating the power you must use to maintain
the corresponding speed. The four progressive curves of the CycleOps SuperMagneto
TM
Pro start with lower
power and quickly ramp up as your speed increases.
Mountain Setting
This setting is the easiest curve on the CycleOps
SuperMagneto
TM
Pro. This will give inexperienced
riders a great place to start, while giving stronger rid-
ers a great place to cool down or recover.
Road Setting
This setting gives you a gentle road like feel. A
lightly progressive curve folllows your cadence up to
speed and allows you to ride at a comfortable speed
and resistance.
This setting provides low steady state power with
the ability to deliver plenty of resistance as you bring
your bike up to speed.
This is the hardest, most progressive setting on the
CycleOps SuperMagneto
TM
Pro. It can deliver moun-
tain climbing resistance for high power and slow
speed workouts.
