The Wattbike Air-Pro is available in two resistance levels, standard and high. Both versions have the same functionality and ride feel, with the only difference being the resistance. The standard version is appropriate for almost all users and resistance ranges from 0-2000w+. The high variant offers exceptionally high max Watts of 3760W+ but to achieve this the lower powers cannot be reached at certain lower gear settings, making this ideal for heavier more powerful sprint riders, but too highly geared for lighter more endurance focused riders to have a fun and effective workout.
Which resistance is right for you?
There are a few factors that inform which bike would be most suited for you and your situation all of which have an interplay on which resistance would be most suited.
- If you want to have multiple users of the Wattbike, including children and partners, we would recommend the standard version
- If you are an experienced athlete or have a history in sports that involve explosive power such as rugby or sprinting, then we would suggest the high gearing would be most suited to your needs
- If you are a lighter individual (80kg or less), looking to use the Wattbike for endurance training, or for weight management, then the standard would be more suitable
- As a rough guide, an FTP of 325w or an MMP of 460w or above you may be better suited to the high version
All the above factors need to be considered when deciding which bike is most suited to you, no one factor above can be considered in isolation of the others.
