Just A Quick FYI

 

Before we get lost in the wealth of information regarding The Cycleops Phantom 5, Cycleops Virtual Training software, Sufferfest And the Powertap we would like to take a minute to explain how they all work together…

 

When the above mentioned systems and hardware are paired the result is the ultimate, most realistic and highly effective indoor cycling experience. Whether you are riding a virtual ride, a cycleops workout or a sufferfest workout the bike will AUTOMTICALLY adjust to the specified power output. This means no manual adjustment whatsoever, as well as the most accurate, scientific workout possible.

 

Am I ‘Powerful’ or Fit Enough?

 

Yes you are. All workouts are based on you own FTP(Functional Thershold Power). Once we do an FTP test we will know exactly how Powerful/Fit you are, you will train with your own FTP value. This means that any level of rider can do a workout relative to his/her Fitness/Power level.

 

With the above systems you wont find yourself  ‘Spinning’ pointlessly. All rides are scientifically designed by the worlds top coaches to make you Fitter, Stronger, Faster.

 

Cycleops Phantom 5

 

The CycleOps Phantom 5 Indoor Cycle is the tippy-top of the indoor training hierarchy. This is because its seamless integration with CycleOps' revolutionary VirtualTraining program allows you to recreate the effect of an outdoor ride with the control that researchers enjoy in their laboratories. Become your own test subject by tailoring the conditions of a virtual outside world indors.

 

Having the breadth of data tracking, virtual terrain options, and training plans comprised by CycleOps' VirtualTraining program is amazing.

 

 The range of data collection means that, though, we've mostly focused on its winter applications as a foul-weather friend, the Phantom's precise metric gathering (an industry-leading +/- 1. 5%) makes it an ideal platform for a regimen that lets you manage all of the external variables for training or testing your form, regardless of the conditions outside.

 

Stocked with four points of micro-adjustments, a controlled resistance unit and a frame suited for Tour de France stage-ending sprints, the Phantom 5 is built for top professional athletes — yet easily adaptable for any level of rider. Plus, the onboard PowerTap power meter lets you know exactly how hard you're working.
