Cycling devices have evolved from the simple device that records speed to
the complex devices out on the market. Today’s advancement in technology
brings us the XiSport Cycling Training Device. The XiSport lets you do all of that
and more; it has all the functionality of a speedometer, i.e. Speed, Cadence,
Distance, and Time, but only the Xi displays Gearing, Acceleration, as well as
YOUR personally designed custom workout. Currently, nothing out there on the
market lets YOU, the user, build your own workouts to suit your needs. Buying
big, bulky gym equipment is the only other way to get a preprogrammed
workout, and that isn’t your own personally designed workout. We’ve designed
the Xi to be small enough to be attached to your bike as well as safe enough to be
used outside on the open road as well as giving you a great workout in the
comfort of your own home. For those who own a bike and are wanting to get a
little more out of their casual ride, all the way up to serious cyclist who needs that
extra reminder during training to stay at a certain workout level, the XiSport
Cycling Training Device is for you. The workout mode takes in the benchmarks
from your workout and graphically displays them. The screen has two training
bars as well as a progress bar on the bottom to show you how far along you are in
the workout. The training bars display the goal for that segment of the workout
just to the left of the middle of the bar. Then during your workout, the bar will go
up or down relative to the distance you’re from your goal. Once you’ve
completed your workout, the workout mode goes into free mode, where it will
continue to display values to the user.
