Adjusting Resistance Settings

To increase or decrease resistance while operating your MBX2500 bike, lift the tension lever located on the front post up or down to adjust the resistance. Level 1 is the minimum resistance. Level 8 is the highest resistance. Resistance can be changed at any time. 

To apply the brake, press down on the tension lever to the maximum resistance setting.

Before dismounting, increase the resistance to slow the flywheel and allow it to come to a complete stop.
