BODY BIKE Connect accurately measures watt output using a direct force system. A floating brake unit applies pressure to a load cell, which functions like a precise scale, measuring the workload as resistance is added. The control box combines this measurement with cadence data from a magnet on the flywheel to calculate and display watt output on the console.
Is there a limit on the watt measurement?
The load cell can measure up to 20 kg of force. If exceeded, an “Over Load” message appears. For example, at a cadence of 100 rpm, this limit is reached at around 1400 watts. Most cyclists can sustain 300-400 watts for extended periods and reach 1000-1400 watts in short bursts.
