Gymrail’s new 4D rocker system for professionals simulates outdoor cycling

According to road racing cyclists Fiona Schröder (GER), Lennert Teugels (BEL), and Riku Övermark (FIN), using Momentum X1 has improved their indoor cycling training levels and helped them reach maximum watt level for a longer period of time.

“If I look at my peak powers inside and outside, there is a big gap. A fixed trainer can be very tight, so there is no sideways movement in your back wheel, and that makes me lose 100–250 watts,” Teugels says.

“Not only does Momentum X1 have sideways movement but it also has an up and down movement as well as rotation in the front. It adds comfort and allows you to push for more watts, making the whole training experience more efficient. E-racers and sprinters should definitely give it a try, since you’re actually getting better results,” he continues.

Övermark has noticed that Momentum X1’s side-to-side movement allows more efficient use of the glutes and hamstrings.

“It was much easier to push more watts, and after a couple of test rides my 1-minute average power input increased by 7 percent. The difference was substantial compared to a static trainer and bike combination,” Övermark says.

“After testing the Momentum X1 during Eurobike, I never want to ride without it anymore. The frame and body move freely just like on the road. It’s just more fun to ride on the trainer now,” Schröder confirms.
