Why Choose the BX70i?

Easy On, Easy Off

Unlike a traditional bike frame, the BX70i has a low step-through design. There is no high crossbar to swing your leg over, so getting on and off is quick and comfortable. This makes it a practical option for households where several people of different ages and fitness levels will use the same bike.

A Ride That Stays Smooth and Quiet

The induction brake creates resistance electromagnetically, without a friction pad pressing on the flywheel. The result is consistent resistance from the lightest to the hardest setting and a quiet ride that won’t disturb others. Paired with a 10 kg flywheel and belt transmission (1:8.1 ratio), every pedal stroke feels even and controlled.

Resistance That Grows With You

With 32 resistance levels and a watt range from 10 to 350 watts, the BX70i suits gentle warm-ups and steady rides just as well as harder interval efforts. In watt mode, resistance can be set in 5-watt steps for precise, measurable training.

A Comfortable Fit

The large saddle adjusts both up and down and forwards and back using a quick-release knob, so you can find the right height and reach for your body. Multi-grip handlebars let you change hand position during longer rides, and adjustable levelling feet keep the bike steady on uneven floors.

Console and Training Options

The LCD console keeps all your key workout data in view, including speed, time, distance, cadence (RPM), calories, heart rate, watts and resistance level. Time can count up, or count down from a target you set.

Available programmes:

• Manual mode – choose and change the resistance yourself at any time
• 12 preset programmes – ready-made workout profiles (P01–P12)
• Heart-rate controlled – train at 55%, 75% or 90% of your maximum heart rate, or set a custom target
• Watt-controlled – holds a constant power output between 10 and 350 watts, adjusting resistance automatically
• User-defined – build and save your own workout profile
• Recovery test – checks how your heart rate falls after exercise and gives a simple fitness score
• Body fat estimate – based on your stored profile data

Up to four user profiles can be saved, each storing gender, age, height and weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is heart rate measured?
Through hand-grip pulse sensors on the handlebars. The bike is also compatible with a chest strap for a steadier reading (chest strap sold separately).

Can I use training apps with it?
Yes. The BX70i connects wirelessly to the Kinomap app for video-based routes and interactive workouts. Kinomap is a third-party app and may require its own subscription.

Does it need power?
Yes. The bike is mains powered (220–230 V) and should be plugged directly into a wall socket.

Is it easy to move?
Yes. Transport wheels on the front base let you tilt the bike and roll it to a new position.

Does it need assembling?
Yes. Some assembly is required, and two adults are recommended.
