THE NEW IC4 MODEL (2022)

Life Fitness launched its new IC4 model in early 2022. There have been several improvements and changes compared to the old model.

The flywheel of the new IC4 is now entirely black, whereas the flywheel of the old model was silver. The new look and feel has undergone a great makeover. In addition, the logo on the side of the spinning bike has also been changed to better match the bike. The best change has been made to the resistance adjustment. Previously, you had to adjust the resistance with a small lever. Now the bike is equipped with a handy dial. This makes it much easier and more precise to set the resistance. Compared to the old IC5, the 2022 console version can also be connected to Zwift. Perfect if you want to get even more out of your workouts.

What training goals can you use this spinning bike for?

With a spinning bike, you mainly work on improving your cardio, with the focus on training your lower body and, to a lesser extent, your upper body. The muscles you train include your quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, and calves. But did you know that you also train your back and abdominal muscles? The spinning bike can be used in various ways, such as:

- As a warm-up. A good warm-up significantly reduces the risk of injury. For example, when you do strength training.
- To get (and stay) fitter. Are you lacking energy and feeling (sometimes) lethargic? Then spinning workouts will quickly make you feel fitter and more energetic.
- To lose weight, because you burn a lot of calories during a spinning session.

Unique Wattrate LED console

Unique to the IC5 is that it has a fully integrated Wattrate® LED computer powered by batteries. This computer has a bright screen so you can always see it clearly, even in the dark. An LED indicator above the LCD screen allows you to track your workouts using Coach By Color®.

The unique feature of the Coach By Color® zones is that the LED indicator lights up in one of five colors to match the user's personal WattRate® or heart rate zones. This allows you to continuously monitor whether someone can increase or adjust their effort for the best workout.

In addition, the console is equipped with five easy-to-use illuminated buttons. These buttons allow you to quickly and easily select different options, even in the dark.

The display shows your RPM (Rounds Per Minute), wattage, resistance level, and current training zone, among other things.

The different types of training colors - Coach By Colors®

Coach By Colors® consists of five different colored training zones: white, blue, green, yellow, and red. Each of these colors indicates a certain intensity of the different workouts. Do you want to use the IC5 spinning bike in a group setting? Then the Coach by Colors® program promotes bonding between members and improves communication with the instructor, which leads to better social interaction and optimizes your results.

White is for very light workouts. You can use this training zone if you are recovering from an injury, for example.

If you train in the blue training zone, the focus is on endurance training.

Green is the average level, not too heavy, not too light.

Want to get even more out of it? Then you can also go for the yellow training zone. In this zone, the workouts become more intense.

For the real die-hards, there is also the red training zone. This is the maximum zone in which you can train.

Four different training modes

Choose one of the four available training modes. Want to start your workout extra quickly? Then choose Quick Start Mode and start your workouts with just one push of a button.

Would you prefer a power-based workout? Then you can go for the Power Training Mode. This workout is based on your power output in watts. Enter your personal data to train in your individual training zones and adjust the intensity regularly.

You can also choose to train using Heart Rate Training Mode. This workout is based on your heart rate. In this mode, you can also enter your data to train in your individual training zones.

Finally, you can opt for the Functional Threshold Power test (FTP). This test helps you, the user, determine the correct colored training zone and test your fitness. In this test, the wattage target will increase by 25 watts every 4 minutes. All you have to do in this training is cycle in the green values for as long as possible. Once your personal FTP is known, the 5 color zones are assigned for the most optimal form of coaching.

A functional, award-winning, and timeless design

The Life Fitness IC5 is very generously equipped and has all the conveniences. It is an all-black spinning bike with a few red accents. For example, the flywheel of this bike has a red stripe and a few other small red accents.

A build-to-last heavy-duty frame with a Q-factor of 155mm

The frame of the IC5 is a heavy-duty steel frame in which all internal components are hidden, which also protects the spinning bike from possible damage. The solid frame can support a user weight of over 150 kg, and the IC5 can be used by people who are approximately 155 cm to 215 cm tall. This also shows that the IC5 is sturdy and robust, just like the commercial line from Life Fitness. Thanks to this high user weight, most people can make good use of this spinning bike.

A Q-factor of 155 mm for the most optimal pedaling motion

One of the important advantages is the optimal Q-factor. The IC5 has a Q-factor of 155 mm, which is the distance (in mm) between both pedals. The ideal Q-factor is between 140 mm and 170 mm. Within this range, the pedaling motion is most efficient and least stressful. A Q-factor that is too narrow (<140 mm) or too wide (>170 mm) can cause discomfort in your joints during your workouts.

Dimensions of the IC5

The sleek design makes the IC5 a compact spinning bike. When assembled, the IC5 measures (LxWxH) 132x52x120cm. This makes it perfect for your bedroom, living room, or garage. Maybe you've set up a nice home gym, in which case it will fit perfectly there too. If you want to move the spinning bike, you can easily do so with the integrated transport wheels.>
Advanced and ergonomically shaped handlebars

The multi-grip handlebars of the IC5 spinning bikes are specially shaped for optimal posture during your workouts. The well-thought-out handlebar design allows you to always complete your workouts comfortably, whether it's a gentle, longer workout or short and intensive standing sessions.

The handlebars are wrapped in high-quality, soft PVC for an extra comfortable workout. It also provides more support if you want to cycle in a more active position. This prevents strain on your forearms and elbows.

There is also a position for time trials and a wide surface for the "ride easy" position (centrally on the handlebars). The display is fully integrated into the handlebars, completely cable-free, so that it is in line with the sleek shapes of the handlebars and the rest of the spinning bike.

A high-performance saddle for a comfortable workout

The IC5's saddle is specially designed for the best fit and has a sleek design. This saddle is suitable for both men and women and offers ideal support and comfort, allowing you to increase your performance. The saddle has an opening in the center, which relieves any pressure on sensitive areas while riding.

Another advantage is that you can adjust the saddle height as well as horizontally using the 4-point settings.

The IC5 also offers you the option of using your own saddle. If you prefer to use your own saddle during a workout, you can easily swap it out.

Dual SPD pedals for extra grip during your workouts

The IC5 from Life Fitness is equipped with dual pedals. This allows you to "lock" your shoes in two different ways during your workouts. If you have training shoes with clips, you can click them into the special SPD pedals. This prevents you from accidentally slipping off the pedals when you are training intensively.

The pedals are also equipped with the familiar toe cages, which are specially designed for shoes that do not have an SPD clip system. Just like the SPD mechanism, the toe clips ensure that you cannot slip off your pedals.

Push your limits and train with adjustable magnetic resistance

Easily adjust the resistance of your workouts yourself using the magnetic resistance dial. The great thing about magnetic resistance is that it is maintenance-free and gives you, the user, tangible feedback. This allows you to quickly, accurately, and easily set the resistance to the desired level.

Are you training, but is your workout too light or too heavy? Then easily adjust the resistance and choose a resistance between 0 and 100. You can always find the current resistance level on your display.

Poly-V drive belt

The specially developed Poly-V drive belt is an incredibly strong belt that can withstand even the most extreme forces, e.g. from the most fanatical athletes. The transmission ratio is 1:10, which delivers an incredible transmission ratio with a flywheel that produces high-quality results.

The use of a V-belt reduces maintenance costs. This saves you money, but also benefits you if you run a (sports) business such as a gym. Another example is that they reduce malfunctions to zero (compared to other similar bikes) and make a lot less noise than regular spinning bikes.

Connect your training apps with Bluetooth and ANT+

Via Bluetooth 4.0 and ANT+, you can connect your training apps to view and save your workouts and easily keep track of your training history. This allows you to closely follow and monitor your performance.

Stay hydrated with the double water bottle holders

It is important to stay well hydrated during both long and short workouts. The double water bottle holders can hold two water bottles, so you always have enough water or sports drink at hand. Going for a shorter workout? Then one water bottle will often be enough. Going for a long or intensive workout? Then you can easily carry two water bottles. This means you don't have to interrupt your workouts, so you can train continuously. It is important to stay well hydrated during both short and longer workouts. If you are going for a shorter workout, one water bottle is often enough. Prefer a longer training session? Then you can easily store two water bottles so that you don't have to interrupt your workout to get water, allowing you to train continuously.
