Controlled resistance technology can take workouts to the next level with target based training.
There are two types of controlled resistance units: PowerBeam trainer and 400 Pro indoor cycle.
Choose to alter the target slope. The gearing change be changed on the 400 Pro indoor cycle.
1. Take outdoor ride or emailed
file and convert to workout us-
ing PowerAgent software. Note:
Workouts can also be built based in
PowerAgent based on slope.
2. Title and save course workout in
PowerAgent and transfer to Joule™.
3. Press MODE button to navigate to
menu mode.
4. Select course workout (i.e. Iron-
man Wisconsin).
5. Press in joystick to change be-
tween target slope or target watts.
6. Press joystick up/down to adjust
target slope. Gearing can be ad-

When the 400 Pro indoor cycle detects that the cadence has dropped below a threshold value, it begins to
slowly withdraw the brake from the flywheel. This is an assist mode that helps the user increase speed and
prevents the flywheel from locking up. As long as the user is unable to increase speed above a threshold value,
the 400 Pro will continue to reduce the resistance.
The threshold speed that must be reached for the 400 Pro to begin increasing resistance again is higher than
the speed that causes it to begin to withdraw. This assists the user in achieving a speed sufficient to avoid im-
mendiately entering the assist mode again.
If the speed falls to nearly zero, the brake takes a large step back away from the flywheel, immediately reducing
the resistance. Speed falling to nearly zero indicates that either the user has stopped pedaling, or that they have
exerted themselves so much that the assist mode is insufficient to get them back up to speed.
