How to use the app to improve your pedalling technique
Improving your bike pedalling technique can significantly change modern bike pedalling training. In any sport, real progress comes from learning efficient, coordinated movements—and bike pedalling is no exception. By refining your pedalling technique, you can achieve significant improvements in key performance indicators: speed, power, balance, efficiency, smoothness, and cadence.
Better technique not only means that the cyclist goes faster, but also that they achieve more with less effort. The energy used for bike pedalling is better utilized. With more efficient pedalling, less energy is used to maintain the current performance level, which over time allows for even greater results.
Integrating technique into training
The advantage of technique training is that it fits seamlessly into a cyclist's normal routine. This app is designed to support different training phases, including:
- Warm-up: Prepares muscles and nervous system for training with low-intensity technical exercises.
- Cool-down: Reinforces smooth, efficient movement at the end of the workout.
- Recovery bike pedalling: Allows you to focus on form and fluidity while maintaining low intensity.
Smart guidance from the app
As you use it, the app learns from your workouts and adapts to them. After a few rides, the app will suggest cadence and power targets based on your performance trends and areas for improvement.
For the first few uses, we recommend the following settings:
Recommended settings for beginners:
During the first few workouts, it is recommended to use the following conservative values to develop proper bike pedalling technique:
Warm-up:
RPM: 60-85
Power: 2 W/kg
Duration: 10-15 minutes
Cool down:
RPM: 60-85
Power: 2 W/kg
Duration: 10-15 minutes
Regenerative workout:
RPM: 80-110
Power: 2 W/kg
Duration: 10-15 minutes
It is worth focusing on the smoothness and roundness of your pedalling, especially at the bottom and back of the pedal. The app's real-time feedback can result in a more efficient, balanced, and powerful pedalling technique.
Final tip
Just a few workouts per week can bring lasting changes to your bike pedalling technique and performance. The app can be used as a virtual trainer to help you reach your maximum performance.
