ADJUSTING THE RESISTANCE
According to the EN (European Norm) definition, this product is an item of
“pedal crank training equipment”.
You can adjust the braking torque not only with your pedalling speed but also
by manually choosing your resistance level (by turning the torque control knob
on non-motorised products and by pressing the +/- buttons on motorised
products).
However, if you retain the same level of resistance, the braking torque will
increase/decrease as your pedalling speed increases and decreases.
