E-motion SmartPower Resistance System
6
Minimum and maximum resistance settings.
The SmartPower system features adjustable resistance, but rollers also
have some natural resistance from the natural drag of the bike's tires. Even
with the resistance set to zero, there will be a certain level of effort
required to pedal the bike on the rollers. This rolling resistance is
dependent on your weight and tire pressure.
Maximum resistance is the natural rolling resistance plus the maximum
magnetic resistance, as indicated by the yellow light (MAX RES). Also
referred to as the “wattage ceiling”
Minimum resistance is the rolling resistance alone with no added magnetic
resistance, as indicated by the yellow light (MIN RES). Also referred to as
the “wattage floor”
NOTE: If your system fails to respond to a target during the workout, it
could be due to hitting either the wattage “floor” or “ceiling”
If you are using a power meter, the system can be set to auto-calibrate the
rolling resistance as described in the power meter section. If you do not use
a power meter, the rolling resistance is an estimate based on weight. Either
way, your weight should be entered into the rider profile on the IR app.
It’s
also important to enter your weight into any other cycling app you use, so
that they all agree. If you are using the Floating Fork Stand (FFS), you will
need to select it on the IR app.
