We are excited to announce that we now have 2 Cyclus ergometers. Because of its high accuracy and flexible load control, the Cyclus 2 is ideal for performance testing. While the ergometer comes with its own frame it’s also compatible with both road and mountain bikes and we can quickly convert to mount bikes with a quick release or various through axle systems. The sprocket cassettes can also be changed to the rider’s own cassette. All of this allows for a pleasant, realistic riding experience.

While we offer a variety of performance tests the Cyclus 2 is also ideal for ergometer training. You can bring your bike to and do your interval sessions or even too simulate a route profile. For more information contact the lab today.
