HF Industries have announced the release of FreeMotion Fitness' new Tour de France Indoor Cycle in Australia.

Aimed at both beginners and seasoned cyclists the bike brings an authentic, engaging cycling experience designed to train exercisers body for life and sport.

The maintenance-free Gates Carbon Drive™ system combines the quiet, smooth ride of a belt drive with power and efficiency of a chain drive.

HF Industries Sales Manager Casey Bawden is impressed with the bike, stating that "incline and decline adjustments allow you to truly replicate the fluctuating terrain of an outdoor ride.

"The full-color touch screen allows you to monitor your workout stats with the swipe of a finger while built-in iFit® technology and Google Maps™ allows you to ride anywhere in the world.

"The Tour de France Indoor Cycle seamlessly brings the outdoors cycling experience indoors."

Key features of the FreeMotion Tour de France bike include:

TOUCH SCREEN CONSOLE FEATURING IFIT® AND GOOGLE MAPS™ - The high-resolution touch screen console gives riders multiple screen options. iFit® enables riders to upload and track their personal workout data, and Google Maps™ provides an endless supply of real-time, interactive rides to keep you engaged and excited for their next adventure.

INCLINE/DECLINE - Equipped with a motorised terrain replicating feature controlled by built-in video workouts, The Tour de France bike seamlessly declines and inclines from-10% to +20% as the ride topography changes.

EDDY CURRENT MAGNETIC RESISTANCE - Eddy current magnets provide smooth, adequate resistance to match the steepest of hills. Nothing touches the flywheel so the system is maintenance free and without need for replacement parts.

CARBON DRIVE™ SYSTEM - This maintenance free carbon drive system delivers the quiet, smooth ride of a belt drive but with the strength and efficiency of a chain drive. The combination of a 5:1 gear ratio, perimeter weighted flywheel, and  freewheel feature give the Tour de France bike the smoothest, most realistic outdoor-bike feel.

WATTS MEASUREMENT - The FreeMotion Tour de France bike individually calibrates the power display for precision readouts.

DUAL-SIDED PEDALS WITH SPD - Compatible with the majority of cycling-appropriate shoes, these dual-sided pedals accommodate both high-performance SPD cleats and traditional fitness shoes.

ALUMINUM FRAME - Resistant to rust, this lightweight aluminium frame is maintenance friendly and easy to move between classes. All hardware is hidden stainless steel to further prevent rust from salty conditions.
