Life Fitness launches innovative new IC8 bike

Life Fitness has introduced the IC8, an indoor power trainer with greater power accuracy, wattage and performance data than any other indoor cycle.

Engineered to deliver the ergonomics, drive and feel of both a road and triathlon bike, the trainer is designed for riders that want superior tracking and fitness results.

The trainer boasts the world’s most accurate power meter on the market; a performance-orientated PRO handlebar which empowers the cyclist to ride inside just how they ride outside; and advanced, magnetic resistance and mechanical components delivering up to 3800 watts via a single resistance dial.

The WattRate® TFT Computer on the trainer has more than 40 performance metrics, and the IC8’s Bluetooth® and ANT+ capabilities allow the user to access workouts, create training plans and analyze workout data with the ICG Training App. For group cycling scenarios, the IC8 comes with ICG Connect capabilities to capture the collective efforts of all riders.

“The IC8 is the new standard in power training,” says: Bernd Puerschel, VP of ICG.

“We worked closely with athletes to create an authentic indoor experience. Inspired by the movement of road cycling, triathlon and athletic-performance training, the IC8 has greater power accuracy and wattage than any trainer available in the market today.”
