Your STAR TRAC group cycle is easy to use. Simply sit on the cycle, tighten the pedal straps and begin pedaling. The cycle allows the
user full control over resistance by simply adjusting the brake pad. Typically, lower resistance levels enable you to pedal at a faster
pace, placing increased demand on the cardiovascular system. Higher resistance levels will typically deliver a greater
muscle/endurance workout at lower RPMs. RPM parameters in the Spinning
® program range from 60 to 110 RPM.
Additionally, the cycle offers seat and handlebar adjustments, allowing the cycle to be configured to each users comfort zone.
This section provides the instructions for making seat adjustments, handlebar adjustments, pedal strap adjustments, and for controlling
resistance. Differences between models are noted where applicable.
PLEASE NOTE: Proper instruction from a certified Spinning
® instructor should be used to properly fit the group cycle
for use.
SEAT ADJUSTMENTS
Proper seat height helps ensure maximum exercise efficiency and comfort, while
reducing the risk of injury. Adjust the seat height so that the knee joint is slightly
flexed when the extended leg is at the bottom of the pedal stroke.
Once the proper height has been achieved, adjust the seat forward or back so that
when the feet are in the 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions, the knees are directly over
the pedal axle.
To adjust the seat height:
(V-bike
® Spinner ® ) Dismount the cycle. Loosen the seat height tension handle by
turning the handle counterclockwise. Raise or lower the seat to the desired height,
then tighten the tension handle by turning clockwise. Be sure to tighten the handle
firmly.

(Spinner
® Pro/Elite/NXT) Dismount the cycle. Turn the seat height pop-pin
counterclockwise and pull out on the pin to release it from its current preset
location. Raise or lower the seat to the desired height, then gently release the pop-pin.
Raise or lower the seat slightly, if necessary, until the pop-pin engages a preset
hole. Turn the pop-pin clockwise to secure.
To adjust the seat horizontal position:
(V-bike
® Spinner ® ) Dismount the cycle. Loosen the seat fore-and-aft tension
handle by turning the handle counterclockwise. Move the seat forward or back
