The Hydrorider Aquabike Professional is a unique aquatic indoor stationary bike made out of marine stainless steel AISI 316L (rust proof) which allows you to pedal while immersed in the water taking advantage of the many benefits of the aquatic environment. Unlike indoor based cycling frames, the Hydrorider resistance is determined by four paddle wheels that are adjustable on three levels the longer the paddle is pulled out, the greater the surface volume of water taken in; hence, the greater the resistance. Resistance is also added by increasing RPM’s through acceleration which is a key component in aquatic conditioning. Additional challenges can be met by a change in seat positions, intervals or power pull techniques.
The bike has state-of-the-art features for custom fitting anyone. It has fore and aft seat and stem adjustment for handlebars. Bases are extendible for better pool depth in order to reach participant’s body position with water level between waistline and chest. For maximum results it is recommended to use aquagym shoes (provided by Hydrorider at client’s request).
The Hydrorider Aquabike Professional require low to no maintenance. It was designed and engineered to resist to the hardest solicitations that professional fitness equipment have to bear during their life time. It weighs 53 pounds (24 Kg) and is easily wheeled to the pool and then handed to someone in the water. It can be stored, left on the pool deck or in the water. The bases have double non skid rubber protection for better floor adhesion and protection.
