What sets X-Biking programs apart from other group cycling programs?
X-Biking is quite different from other forms of indoor group cycling. But different is not necessarily better. So, what are the central features of the X-Bike indoor performance bike and X-Biking program that deliver unrivalled benefits to users? Core (as mentioned above) On a traditional rigid indoor bike with a fixed gear flywheel, the ‘equipment’ provides a stable platform on which the rider works. The handlebar rigidity forces the arms and lower spine to act as stabilizers while the transfer of flywheel momentum through the cranks means that the pedal acts as a stable platform on the upstroke. In essence, the stability of the equipment negates the recruitment of the core stabilizers. On the X-Bike, the natural true-to-cycling movement of the handlebars and freewheeling drive train give the user fewer stable contact points and result in the engagement of the core stabilizers to fix the user over the bike in an appropriate position to pedal.
