Contact: Christine Swendseid, Strategix I.D., 406.585.7909 Designers: Strategix I.D., Inc. Client: Athlon Fitness, LLC Putting the emphasis on the bicycle, this exercise bike simulates an outdoor riding workout when weather makes it impossible. A three-point pivoting suspension system with a central balance point allows side-to-side motion while a rear balance point absorbs forces for a smooth ride, much like a standard mountain bike. These features let the rider personalize a workout, as well as the bike itself, with a choice of seat, pedals, cranks and handlebars. "Finally an exercise bike that inspires and challenges us to exercise. The attention to features that simulate actual riding is smart and innovative. The attitude, materials and details communicate speed and performance, exemplifying the trend for the training and exercise equipment categories." -Dan Klitsner, IDSA, Klitsner Industrial Design Inc. |
