Cyclists achieve some of the highest speeds of all sports, 80 km/h (~ 50 mph) and more in the top class. A treadmill that is to be used in this environment needs to offer enough space and have extremely fast acceleration – also allowing quick riding out-of saddle. It is crucial that the running belt has a very low rolling resistance for the wheels.
Whoever has had the privilege to train on a treadmill designed for cycling will know the vast difference to a normal ergometer and will not want to miss the possibility for training and testing.

It is crucial that the running belt has a very low rolling resistance for the wheels. The h/p/cosmos saturn® 300/100r with a special speed of 80 km/h allows both physiological performance and biomechanical analysis – under optimal and repeatable conditions. The running belt has a very low rolling restistance for the wheels.
motivation and safety – for bikes and wheelchairs
A formula 1 driver can only go to his limits when he knows that his car and the track are as safe as can be. Without a safety cockpit, a special seat belt and helmet, he would hardly get the same performance or be able to push himself to his limits. It is similar for cross country skiers, wheelchair users and cyclists if they feel unsafe and are afraid of falling.
Training or testing at speeds of 40, 60 or even up to 80 km/h (49.71 mph) on a treadmill demand a healthy respect.
