Chapter 5: Workouts

Slope measures grade steepness of your simulated climb. You can choose a grade between 0 and 25 for the
slope. The higher the number, the steeper the slope you’re climbing. While in slope mode, the 400 Pro provides
the resistance for the selected slope at whatever speed you’re riding. The faster you pedal, the more resistance
you’ll need to overcome, just like riding up an actual hill. The resistance the 400 Pro simulates is calculated con-
sidering the power needed to climb the target slope on a road bike with slick tires and the user weight saved in
Joule’s User Setup. For information on setting up user weight see pages 66-67 or connect Joule to PowerAgent
software to adjust user weight.

6. Press [RESISTANCE JOYSTICK] in and release to change from target slope to gearing. The gearing setting uses
the previously set target slope but allows you to change the gear ratio simulated by the 400 Pro. This is useful
for understanding what gear combination is best for you on various slopes so you can train for your goal terrain.
The gears and ratios simulated by the 400 Pro are listed on page 40.

7. When a saved workout is completed each saved segment is automatically converted to an interval. Press
[JOYSTICK] left/right to highlight the intervals. Press [JOYSTICK] up/down to scroll up/down and review the
intervals. Note: when a saved workout is completed the target resistance defaults to 100 watts. Note: Intervals
are disabled during while riding saved workouts.
