Combining user-focused ergonomics with advanced biomechanics, the SC5 features a narrow 162 mm Q-factor that closely replicates the pedal stroke efficiency and joint alignment of outdoor road bikes.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBuilt on an iconic lightweight, rust-proof powder-coated aluminum frame, the bike utilizes aluminum seat and handlebar sliders with comprehensive vertical and fore\/aft micro-adjustments to accommodate riders between 4 ft 11 in and 6 ft 8 in up to 350 lbs (159 kg). Its drivetrain pairs a heavy perimeter-weighted flywheel with an ultra-quiet 6-groove Poly-V belt and direct pressure braking for smooth, consistent resistance, supported by a patent-pending Morse Taper bottom bracket and dual-sided SPD pedals with integrated toe cages.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize \u0026amp; Space Requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions (W × L × H):\u003c\/b\u003e 53 × 113 × 117 cm (21 × 44.5 × 46 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaximum Product Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 140 cm (55 inches) at full fore\/aft extension\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProduct Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 54 kg (120 lbs)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 62 kg (135 lbs)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaximum User Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 159 kg (350 lbs)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eUser Height Range:\u003c\/b\u003e 150–203 cm (4 ft 11 in to 6 ft 8 in)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eQ-Factor:\u003c\/b\u003e 162 mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,7,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDrivetrain:\u003c\/b\u003e Durable 6-groove Poly-V belt with heavy perimeter-weighted flywheel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,8,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eResistance Mechanism:\u003c\/b\u003e Direct pressure brake system\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,9,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFrame \u0026amp; Slider Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Powder-coated aluminum frame with aluminum sliders\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,10,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePedals \u0026amp; Bottom Bracket:\u003c\/b\u003e Custom dual-sided SPD pedals with toe cages; Morse Taper connection\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,11,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eConsole Compatibility:\u003c\/b\u003e Compatible with optional Star Trac Computer and 4iiii crank arm power meter\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe bike's narrow 21-inch width maximizes studio floor space, allowing operators to position bikes efficiently for group classes.
