cycle features explained
Adjusting the tri-handlebars
The handlebars can be adjusted to match your individual
requirements;
1. loosen the multi-position handle
2. tilt the handlebars into your desired position
3. tighten the multi-position handle
Using your tri-handle bars
The tri-handlebars offer a radically different exercise position, similar
to that used by many professional cyclists when racing - to take
advantage of this feature:
1. Put the handlebars in the fully horizontal position
2. Sit on the saddle and instead of gripping the handlebars with your
hands, lean forwards and place your elbows in the elbow supports
3. Grip the handlebars above the console
4. You may have to re-adjust the seat height and reach to find the
most comfortable position
Adjusting the resistance
This cycle features a speed independent braking (resistance) system.
The resistance is controlled by an electro-magnet, which uses varying
amounts of current to alter the resistance level. The user adjusts this
resistance with buttons on the console, and the levels go from 1 =
easy to 16 = hard
NOTE: the multi-position handle features a clever
ratchet design to help you tighten it – there’s no need
to turn the handle 360⁰ - simply push the button in the
centre of the handle to ratchet tighten

Monitoring your heart rate
This cycle has 2 ways of monitoring pulse rates:
Hand Pulse Sensors
This cycle is fitted with 2 hand pulse sensors. To obtain a pulse reading
you must have both your left and right hands on the sensors at the
same time. Do not grip the hand sensors too tight and allow the
computer a few seconds to display the reading.
Wireless heart rate receiver
This cycle features a built in receiver meaning it will pick up the signal
from a chest strap. A chest strap will give a heart rate reading to ECG
accuracy. We recommend a chest strap is worn when using HRC
programs. To purchase one, please see the ‘Contact Us’ section at the
start of this manual or visit www.yorkfitness.com
Hand pulse sensors
Some people may not be able to obtain an
accurate hand pulse reading due to variations in
circulation.
