Wattbike launches affordable smart bike, Proton

Indoor cycling specialist, Wattbike, has launched its new Proton bike.

Priced at £1,795, Proton will be marketed as an accessible and versatile smart bike designed to bring Wattbike’s technology and free training app to a broader audience.

The Wattbike Proton can be easily and extensively adjusted without the use of tools, allowing users to customise their position and optimise their workouts according to their individual training goals.

Proton will also offer access to Wattbike Hub, a subscription-free app for Wattbike users that controls the bike’s resistance and guides users through every workout.

Content on the Wattbike Hub has been overhauled as part of the launch, including new workouts tailored for runners and an enhanced user experience. Proton also integrates with other major apps, including Strava, Rouvy and Zwift.

According to Stephen Loftus, CEO of Wattbike, the launch will make indoor cycling more accessible. “With the Proton, Wattbike is introducing our proven fitness and training technology to a broader home audience, he said.

“Its quick and easily adjusted features, expanded free Wattbike Hub training app and competitive pricing makes our world-class training more accessible than ever.”
