Product Details
Includes Wireless Heart Rate Monitor and Adjustable Aerodynamic Drag Factor in the software!
Computrainer helps to eliminate the boredom of indoor bike training, while combined with state of the art wattage and heart rate outputs
For use with desktop and high-end laptops with 3D graphic capability.
State Of The Art 3D Graphics
You'll be amazed at the realism of CompuTrainer's 3D interactive graphics. Rolling Green Hills or Painted Desert Scenery, curves, split screens, and panoramic helicopter views combine with advanced computer algorithms to create the true "feel of the road". Real time representation of essential data such as power output, heartrate, current speed, real-time & average values are given. CompuTrainer 3D Software is the result of over 15 years of continuous development by more than a dozen top level software designers, engineers and computer graphics programmers.
Gain Power And Efficiency With Spinscan
SpinScan Pedal Stroke Analyzer is an exclusive CompuTrainer feature that helps you increase power and efficiency. The multicolor torque graph represents one full 360 revolution divided into 15 segments. The left /right leg percentage power splits give you the feedback needed to pedal in "circles". It will identify "flat" or "dead" spots in the pedal stoke where optimal power is not transferred to the drive train. A dynamic bike fit utilyzing SpinScan is an excellent way to take the subjectivity and guesswork out of the bike fit process. And the ATA (Average Torque Angle) displayed on the Polar Graph helps you to adjust your position for optimum power.
Unlimited Pre-Loaded Courses - Custom and Downloadable
By pre-training on a simulated course you gain a big advantage in the actual race. A library of hundreds of pre-loaded courses is included in the software - from the Central Park bike course in New York City to the Hawaiian Ironman World Championships course in Kailua-Kona. Look to this website to download the latest new courses along with many free courses posted by CompuTrainer users.
Create Your Own Courses
"Course Builder" - A friendly user interface makes creating 3D courses easy when course altitudes and distances are available.
"Topo USA Map & Ride" - As an option, Delorme Publishing and Racermate has developed as a special joint venture. Now you can create ANY bike course in the U.S.A. with "Map & Ride" Topo USA Course Creation Software and Bike Course Creation Software.
Record and Analyze detailed performance, create custom "watts versus time" protocols, examine graphed data in detail or in its entirety
Professional Performance
CompuTrainer is more than a premier bike trainer. It's also a precision bicycle ergometer measuring wattage, heartrate, and cadence, which matches ergometers like the Lode and SRM costing much more. USA Triathlon and the Canadian Cycling Association rely on CompuTrainer to test and train their national team athletes. For the individual it's like having a personal exercise physiology lab.
More Powerful than other electronic bike trainers (except the Velotron, also by RacerMate), CompuTrainer has a peak power rating in excess of 1500 Watts to simulate road grades up to 15%.
Hardware / Electronics
All versions of CompuTrainer are built upon the same basic system of hardware and electronics. The basic hardware and electronics can also operate as a stand alone electronic bicycle ergometer when added to a two or more rider application such as MultiRider 3D Software. All CompuTrainers come with interactive 3D software with the choice of optional proprietary software. The CompuTrainer system that you own today will be with you tomorrow. It will continue to be easy to upgrade or add any new cutting edge software RacerMate develops in the future.
