Training Mode
As you can see from the screen shot above, TRAINING
MODE allows the rider to ride any trail, for any length of
time, in any fitness level that they have available to them.
TRAINING MODE essentially allows you to “Fill In The
Gaps”.
You have a choice of nine race lengths:
1 Lap, 10mins, 15mins, 20mins, 30mins, 45mins,
60mins, 90mins or an incredible 120mins.
This means that when you have progressed to the highest
Fitness Level possible, Fitness Level 80, in Xdream Fitness
Mode, you will have the choice of riding any trial in any one
of the 80 Fitness Levels.
This choice of 20 tracks, nine race lengths and 80 Fitness
Levels gives the rider a choice of an astonishing 14,400
different race combinations! ... The choice is yours!
Use TRAINING MODE to warm up for the PRO tier races,
as well as for practising any particularly difficult sections of
a track that you are going to have to master in order to
progress up through the PRO tier. You can do this by
choosing easier and shorter races from the TRAINING
MODE matrix.
Your finishing positions for each race are recorded on the
TRAINING MODE matrix as they are in Xdream Fitness
Mode.
Your mission in TRAINING MODE is ultimately to ride all the
trials in all the race lengths, in Fitness Level 80, and come
FIRST in every single one of those races!
Easy!

Adjusting Assistance Settings
Once you get more used to how the Xdream handles,
how it steers for example, you may wish to adjust your
ASSISTANCE SETTINGS .
As already mentioned, certain ASSISTANCE SETTINGS
will be removed for you as you progress up through the
Fitness Levels anyway but you may wish to change your
SETTINGS before that time.
There are many combinations of assistance settings that
can be selected and an adjustment of settings may help
you to progress even faster.
All ASSISTANCE SETTINGS can be turned off and
stripped away entirely so that you are riding au natural -
the choice is yours!
The largest number of ASSISTANCE SETTINGS options are
available to you when Steering Assist NONE is selected.
As before, use the arrow buttons on the console to make
any change in the Assistance Settings.
When you choose not to have any steering assistance
(Steering Assist NONE),
naturally your braking assistance will be turned off too
so that you no longer have braking assistance also.
You are able to turn off AUTOGEARS so that you control
of the gears and you will
also be able to adjust your FORGIVENESS setting,
which is your ‘tolerance to
crashing’ setting, from FULL to REDUCED, or to
MINIMAL.
Please note that when you have progressed to Fitness
Level 13 in the BEGINNER tier, the options to change
your Steering Assistance and Autogears settings are
removed and are therefore greyed out.
As you continue to get better and better on your
Xdream, adjust your FORGIVENESS setting to challenge
yourself even further.
Crashing Penalties
As you ride with less and less assistance, you have to
be more and more careful not to crash! As a further
incentive not to crash, please be aware that the time
taken for your rider to be reset to the track after a crash
increases depending upon which tier you are currently riding.
The reset delays become longer on each new tier to the
point where the reset delay
is 5 seconds on the final PRO tier. This reset delay could
be the difference between you coming in FIRST, or
coming in SECOND so don’t let it happen to you!
As mentioned earlier, TRAINING MODE will become
available to you when you have fought and pedalled
your way up to the PRO tier and are at Fitness Level 61.
