CONNECT
EYE FITNESS TRIXTER
X-BIKE 1000
The European made Connect bikes are
a watts based bike. As opposed to just
measuring heart rate, this bike measures
the watts directly from a load-cell built in
to the mechanicals of the cycle. The bike
has fully enclosed covers on the internal
moving parts. This helps to reduce
damage from sweat, water, dust, gym
towels and even participants.
The Trixter X-Bike 1000 is a freewheel
system which is chain-driven, like a
regular bicycle, which means your
members have to work harder to apply
power the entire way around with
each stroke. This freewheel system truly
mimics cycling outdoors as it engages
hamstrings on the upstroke as well as
quads and glutes on the downstroke.
Easy to put together, the cycles are
90% assembled in the factory which
means just a 15 minute setup is required.
Connect is ANT+ compatible and in 2012
won the ANT+ award.
The X-1000 is the only indoor cycle
that features Trixter’s patented X-Bar
handlebar mechanism. The handlebar
movement promotes improved balance
and coordination, offering enhanced
total body fitness benefits.
Over 60 centres are using the bike in all
states of Australia, comprising franchises,
managed facilities, as well as stand
alone centres of all sizes.
We asked Lee Smith, Partner of Body Bike
Australia, if he had any words of wisdom
for someone looking at their options.
‘Spend a little more and get a lot more.
Purchase quality bikes that members
and instructors will want to ride. The
low maintenance, great adjustability,
consistency in feel and great authenticity
of the bikes also helps a centre stand
out.’

The X-1000 features seven levels of
upper body resistance and 32 levels of
pedalling resistance, making it far from
stationary. With the combination of
both upper and lower body functional
exercise, the X-1000 burns 55% more
calories than a standard indoor bike.
The idea of pedalling over demanding
terrain adds the extra element of upper
body resistance as the rider works to
control the bike, shift body weight,
absorb trail shock and pump the
handlebars on climbs and downhills.
