All new BODY BIKEs come equipped with the lubrication-free BODY BIKE Synthetic Brake Pad. This pad, made from Kevlar material, offers a smooth and silent performance without the need for lubrication.
Bikes produced after August 2008 (unless specified otherwise on your invoice) feature this lubrication-free brake pad. If you currently have BODY BIKE Indoor Bikes with leather brake pads, you can purchase a fully assembled brake block with the BODY BIKE Synthetic Brake Pad as an upgrade.
The BODY BIKE Indoor Bike features side covers that protect the interior from dust and perspiration, reducing maintenance needs. After each use, users should spray the bike with water and wipe it clean. Periodically, the bike’s side covers, posts, and bottom frame should be wiped with a cloth dipped in vaseline oil. This not only makes it easier to clean the bike but also provides a shiny finish.
The pedal arm is a crucial component that must endure significant loads. To ensure maximum durability, BODY BIKE has engineered a specially designed, unbreakable pedal arm. At BODY BIKE, safety is our top priority, and we take no risks in ensuring our equipment meets the highest standards.
Yes, all BODY BIKEs is designed for professional use offer easy horizontal and vertical adjustments to accommodate users of varying sizes. The large adjustment handles ensure precise modifications without causing play in the posts. Additionally, a small thumb screw on the handlebar helps eliminate any remaining play, ensuring a stable and comfortable ride.

The time discrepancy between Strava and the BODY BIKE app is due to how each platform handles time zone information.
Strava uses the timestamp in the file and the UTC offset of your riding location (based on GPS data) to determine the start time.
The BODY BIKE App may have a slightly different time formatting, potentially leading to variations in the start time and date.
To ensure accurate time display on Strava:
1) Go to your Strava account on the website. Open the menu from your profile picture and select Settings.
2) Ensure your location is set correctly. Try changing it to Los Angeles, saving, refreshing the page, and then setting it back to your current location and save again.
Create a Strava Account: You’ll need a Strava account. You can sign up using Facebook, Google, Apple, or by creating a new account with your email.
Sync Your Workouts: With a Strava account, you can store all your BODY BIKE indoor cycling workout data alongside your outdoor activities.
Uploading Workouts: If you’re using The BODY BIKE App version 2.2.7, uploading your data is easy:
Open the BODY BIKE app on your phone.
Go to your workout history.
Select the workout you want to upload.
At the bottom of the workout page, tap the “Strava Upload” button.
Choose your preferred login method to connect your Strava account.
Your data will now be uploaded to Strava.
Quick Uploads: To upload additional workouts, simply select a workout and press “Strava Upload” again. You won’t need to log in each time, as the app will remember your account.
Removing Your Strava Account: If you want to disconnect your Strava account, go to personal settings in the BODY BIKE app and tap “Strava Remove Authorization.”
Currently, our app (version 2.2.7 and earlier) does not have the capability to transfer data from an Android phone to an iPhone, or iPhone to Android phone.
BODY BIKE prioritizes your privacy and does not store any user data on its servers. While some users appreciate this, it also means that saving your training data requires additional steps.
If you’d like to keep your training records, you can connect to Strava. However, please note that any medals earned in the BODY BIKE app will not transfer to Strava.
For those switching devices (e.g., from Android to Android or iPhone to iPhone), you can transfer your data within the app. You can finde the transfer guides here
