ARETHE SOUNDS M YBIKEMAKES N ORMAL?

Our bikes are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic

resistance. Weuse the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise, However, because the resistance

system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder

technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our bikes, These

mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent,

are normal and are caused by the transfer of

significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel Aft bearings, belts and other rotating parts will

generate some noise which will transmit through the casing and frame, It is also normal for these sounds

to change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts,

WHY IS THEBIKE I HAD DELIVERED L OUDER THAN THE ONE ATTHE STORE?

All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background

noise than in your home, Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood

overlay floor, Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor, If a fitness

product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise,

now commonly used in far more demanding applications such as motorcycle drives,
