Pros: Watts and watts. The only indoor bike with a coasting freewheel as opposed to fixed drive. Heavy 48lbs flywheel for reality. Training records can download to numerous training software. Joule dashboard..when they deliver it. A great way to get disciplined training that MTB terrain doesn't always afford.

Cons: Not cheap, too expensive for most health clubs. Saris still hasn't got the Joule Computer 3.0 to spec for delivery yet.

Recommendation: When it's cold, wet, snowing or dark...or you just don't have the time hit the trails or road..this is the best alternative if you want to pedal.

Set for training with watts and allows for immediate and accurate feedback. Far superior to the attachable trainers or fixed gear trainers as the coasting freewheel hub and the heavy flywheel mimics real riding the best. If you pedal in squares or lack a good pedal back stroke this bike will make it obvious!! Custom fitting to the nth degree.
Powertap will give you watts, cadence, speed, kjoules, avg, max, current on and on.
My fellow team riders use this for benchmarking our Functional Threshold Power (FTP) which is your peak sustainable power after riding as hard as you can for 1 hour!! We have a boot bucket just in case. All of us have seen increase in power at all intervals since using this bike in conjunction with our dirt antics.
