Trail Selection and Race Set Up
Select the trail you wish to ride from the Trail Matrix by highlighting it, then press the GREEN button.
Race Difficulty/Fitness Level
Difficulty is defaulted to Fitness Level 1 for a new
user but your challenge is to come first in all the 20
different trails on the BEGINNER tier so you can
progress onto the INTERMEDIATE tier and so on.
BEGINNER tier
= Fitness Levels 1-20
INTERMEDIATE tier = Fitness Levels 21-40
ADVANCED tier
= Fitness Levels 41-60
PRO tier
= Fitness Levels 61-80
Once a fitness level has been reached, or the default
race length has increased, you are able to race at a
fitness level or race length less than your current
best BUT you will be unable to progress to the next
Fitness Level if you race in a fitness level lower than
your current best, or for a race duration less than
your current tier dictates.
Race Settings
The race settings screen will always tell you your
current fitness level and the current default race
length for the tier you are in.
Race Length/Duration
As mentioned already, the default length of the races
will increase each time that you progress to a new tier.
BEGINNER tier
= 1lap
INTERMEDIATE tier
= 1lap
ADVANCED tier
= 1lap
PRO tier
= 1lap
The longer length races will begin to challenge your fitness
level just as much as your pacemaker riders do!
Assistance Setup – Getting Used to your Xdream!
New User – Default Assistance Settings
As a new user, the steering assistance is defaulted to
Partial Steering Assistance
. This means that you are in
control of the steering but you will be nudged back onto the
trail should you veer too far from the centre of the track at
any point.
Partial Steering Assistance
also means that you will ride
with Full Braking Assistance, and Full Forgiveness.
The
Forgiveness
setting is a realism, or tolerance setting
that controls how easily you can crash or fall off.
The
Partial Steering Assistance
does mean that you are
protected from crashing to a certain degree BUT you can,
and you will crash and fall off if you ride straight into rocks,
bridges or posts and so on.
As mentioned earlier, as a new user your gears will be
automatically generated for you initially when you are riding
a trail.
The gears will be generated depending upon the gradient
and terrain of the trail, as well as the speed at which you
are pedalling.
We understand that it can take a couple of races for
riders to really get to grips with how the Xdream handles.
We therefore give new riders special
Assistance
Settings
to help them through this exciting time, in the
same way that you had stabilisers on your first bike as
a child!
The two fundamentals of the assistance settings are
Steering Assistance
and
Auto Gears.
