Monark Exercise AB 894E Peak Bike Anaerobic Testing Ergometer

Monark Exercise AB 894E Peak Bike Anaerobic Testing Ergometer Review



Monark Exercise AB 894E Peak Bike Anaerobic Testing Ergometer Feature

  • Conditioning bike designed to perform anaerobic tests such as the Wingate
  • Ideal for sports medicine clinics, sports teams, universities, and more
  • Patented, self-regulated "weight basket" braking system for testing
  • Electronic display measures RPM, heart rate, time, speed, distance, and more
  • Measures 26.5 x 44.5 x 44 inches (W x H x D); weighs 144 pounds; 1-year warranty
Designed specifically to perform anaerobic tests such as the Wingate--which measures short-term strength, power, and endurance in athletes--the Monark 894E peak bike is ideal for sports medicine clinics, universities, professional sports teams, testing facilities, and a host of other fitness-oriented businesses. The 894E is equipped with a Windows-based software system that's easy to use, with crisp presentation graphics and step-by-step instructions to walk you through the test procedures. Even better, the software lets you store the results of every test, making it a breeze to compare individual and group test scores and print the results. Among the details measured by the bike are revolutions per minute, heart rate, time, speed (in km or miles), distance, calories burned, and cycle power. And test times can vary widely--from five seconds to 99 minutes with one-second intervals--giving you plenty of options when setting up your anaerobic test.

The 894E also offers a patented, self-regulated "weight basket" braking system that doesn't need calibration. As long as the basket is in the air and the weights are correct, then the brake force will also be correct. Trainers then set the workload by adding weights to the weight basket, with 1 kg, 0.5 kg, and 0.1 kg options and a workload range from 1 kg to 12 kg. During a test, the trainer generally suspends the weight basket in the upper position, where it offers zero resistance, then releases it through a button in the handlebars to begin the test.

Other details include an adjustable saddle and handlebar, combined PSD/toe clips with threads in the standard dimension to fit most common pedal systems, two different software applications (one for the anaerobic test and a second for Submax tests), a chest belt, a solid steel frame, wheels for easy transport, and a maximum weight capacity of 275 pounds. The 894E, which also works as a normal weight ergometer for Submax and Max tests, measures 26.5 by 44.5 by 44 inches (W x H x D), weighs 144 pounds, and carries a one-year warranty.

  • Large, well-balanced flywheel 22 kg (48 lbs)
