So you love to go mountain biking? Why wouldn’t you? The thrill is so rewarding! But cutting out of the diurnal ties and getting your set of wheels to the mountains daily is not a manageable feat. How about if the next best thing was right within your four walls? The Virtual Mountain Bike Racing Simulator is more than an exerciser. It’s a machine capable of bringing you the chills and thrills of mountain biking at the stead of your bed. Read on to experience the “virtual” adrenaline.
This modish bike comes with the 17” color LCD screen that simulates riding a mountain bike in outdoor courses. Pedals and steering have been provided to monitor a computer generated cyclist on the video screen. To keep you engaged on the road and boost the thrill, other virtual cyclists appear for competition. You can choose any route out of 80 outdoor courses including rolling highland track and twisty snake-like desert course.
The pedaling of the bike is controlled electronically which boosts or cuts in accordance with topography gradients that appear on the screen. Saddle sensors of the bike keep a check on the posture of the cyclist whether the user is standing or sitting and the computer-created cyclist takes the same posture.
It’s almost like riding a real bike on tough terrain where clutching the bike’s hand brakes and changing gears manage the bike on the monitor, with the simulation of carving around a turn or braking to avoid hitting the competitor. The best part is users can develop their own exercise routine or use the preprogrammed training mode that the bike comes with. You can also keep a check on distance traveled, calories burned, exercise time, speed, etc. through LCD display. Seats and handlebar could be adjusted according to the comfort of the user and you simply have to plug it into AC to experiencing bike riding whenever you wish to do so.
