BODY BIKE Heads to FIBO 2025

VISIT US AT FIBO

WATT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND

At FIBO 2025, we invite you to experience the power of indoor cycling—not just as a workout, but as a movement. Visit us in Hall 6, Aisle A, Booth 13, where we’ll showcase our bikes and explore the energy that connects us all.

Watt Goes Around Comes Around. The energy you put into the ride isn’t lost—it builds you up, strengthens your mind, and fuels those around you. It’s a cycle of power, resilience, and transformation. When we ride together, the effort of one becomes the momentum of many.

This idea goes beyond the bike. Just as every pedal stroke moves you forward, the choices we make shape the world around us. That’s why we turn discarded materials into something with purpose—our bikes are made with recycled fishing nets and ABS plastic, proving that nothing is wasted. Everything moves forward.

📍 FIBO 2025 – Hall 6, Aisle A, Booth 13

Join us and be part of the energy. We look forward to seeing you there!

Why doesn’t my workout history show 100% on the intensity scale, even though it did during the workout?

Written by pernille on . Posted in BODY BIKE App. No Comments on Why doesn’t my workout history show 100% on the intensity scale, even though it did during the workout?

The intensity percentage displayed during your workout is a preliminary calculation. This value is recalculated and refined once the complete workout data is processed and stored in your workout history. This recalculation may result in a slightly different percentage being displayed in your history. Therefore, the 100% you see initially is not the final value.

If you exit the BODY BIKE app, for example, to change music or reply to a message while cycling, the app will lose connection to the bike. During this time, power and cadence data are not received from the bike, which is used to calculate speed and distance, although time continues to be recorded. This loss of data can be a reason why the intensity may not show 100% at the end of the workout.

Training sections with watt

Written by pernille on . Posted in Best Practices. No Comments on Training sections with watt

When constructing indoor cycling programs and sections with a focus on heart rate, you have to consider the reaction time of the heart rate between the different intensity levels. This is not necessary if you ride according to watt. The watt can be increased or decreased in a matter of a few pedal strokes making it possible to do shorter intervals and make ‘explosions’ of which you can see the immediate effect. Use the watt value when planning the programs by targeting them to focus either FTP (Functional threshold power) improvement, sprint, endurance or strength. All users can take a watt level test and from this determine relative VO2 max and calculate FTP. This will make it possible to obtain exactly the preferred training in a highly efficient way.

Ranges for VO2 Max

On BODY BIKE Connect you are able to take a watt level test. This will result in your watt level and your relative VO2 max. To evaluate your result you can use the ranges for VO2 max which is divided into categories from ‘very poor’ to ‘superior’ depending on age and gender. If you have not taken a watt level test on BODY BIKE Connect, you can estimate your relative VO2 max in the table and enter this in the console together with your weight.

Record data from BODY BIKE Connect

Written by pernille on . Posted in Best Practices. No Comments on Record data from BODY BIKE Connect

BODY BIKE Connect transfers watt and cadence data from the control box inside the cycle to the console on the handlebar. The transfer is wireless and handled by a protocol called ANT+. If you have an ANT+ device, you can receive this data. At this moment there are several options to receive and process the data and more are arising every day. Some are targeting data storage and others are choosing to use the data to create games or the like. One of the options is ‘MapMyFitness’. Please note that BODY BIKE International A/S is not responsible for or able to provide support for any hardware or software used together with the BODY BIKE Connect indoor cycle.

Connect heart rate transmitter and enter individual settings

The BODY BIKE Performance console and the BODY BIKE Connect console can be used without entering any data. Just get on the bike and start pedalling. However, in order to provide you with the optimal cycling experience it is possible to connect a heart rate transmitter and to enter individual settings. This will enable the console to provide you with training data related to your physical state.

Intensity scale

Written by pernille on . Posted in Best Practices. No Comments on Intensity scale

The scales below can be useful when explaining the intensity level of your current workout. If you are training without any measuring devices like power meter or heart rate monitor, a great tool is the DGI zones which describe the different levels of exhaustion experienced during a workout. In the scales below, the DGI zones are combined with heart rate zones or watt training zones.

Adjustment of the bike

Written by pernille on . Posted in Best Practices. No Comments on Adjustment of the bike

It is important that the cycle can be adjusted to fit the individual users. Therefore all BODY BIKE models for professional use can be adjusted both horizontally and vertically. It is individual how the user prefers the precise adjustment of the cycle. Therefore, the procedure on the poster “Cycle adjustment” should only be regarded as guidelines.
