by Samuel Kalenga on Aug 25, 2024
The Stages SB20 Smart Bike is one of the most innovative indoor cycling bikes on the market. Designed to elevate the indoor riding experience, the Stages SB20 uses the latest technology in bicycle design to offer you the closest simulation possible to outdoor riding. Whether you’re a competitive athlete in need of a targeted training program, a leisure cyclist needing a little motivation, or someone who wants a great workout without getting wet or dirty, the SB20 delivers.
Unveiling the Stages SB20: A Deeper Dive into its Features
A quick rundown of the features that make this trainer the Stages SB20: the high-end smart bike.- Direct-Drive Technology: The heart of realismThe Stages SB20’s direct-drive technology is the key to its exceptional ride feel. Unlike many indoor bikes, the Stages SB20 has done away with an added resistance unit connecting your pedals to the flywheel. Instead, it provides a direct transfer from your pedals to the flywheel for an incredibly smooth, responsive and realistic feel as you climb, build cadence and descend. Eagle eyes might notice slight fluctuations in resistance between your virtual terrain and road surface, which is perfect for adding to the sense of immersion.
- Precise Power Analysis: Takes the Guesswork Out of Your Training 4. A built-in power meter, custom-built for the SB20 by SRM, provides for unparalleled accuracy when measuring power while riding. Power measurements are displayed in real time on your smart phone and support individual power limits, as well as performance threshold tracking and analysing, recording data for fitness trends and metrics, and reviews to visualise and evaluate your weekly, monthly or yearly training volumes. Power metrics are pivotal to training, and are precious to serious cyclists.
- Smart Connectivity: Links to Interactive Training Platforms This Stages SB20 is connectable to third-party platforms for increased training and data visualisation value. Leading fitness platforms such as Zwift, TrainerRoad, The Sufferfest, and Wahoo SYSTM are compatible, allowing you to connect to your computer or tablet and immerse yourself in an interactive cycling experience. You can even race with strangers around the world, climb virtual mountains, ride alongside friends, and more, from the safety of your own home. Use these platforms to customise your training with structured workouts, personalised training plans and numerous interactive challenges to keep you motivated and training smart.
- Adjustable Resistance: On the Fly Gear ShiftingSince the SB20 can alter resistance levels moment to moment, you can mimic the undulations of a long-distance coastal ride as well as the grinding climbs that immediately follow. Dynamic shifting ensures that your rides aren’t monotonous and that you have to stay focused on your surroundings. This level of variation also makes them more fun and better for you. As you climb, you’ll notice your resistance increase. Going downhill, you’ll glide more easily.
- Ergonomic Design COMFORTABLE & CUSTOMISABLE Seat and handlebars in the Stages SB20 are adjustable to fit you in a comfortable and customised riding position, which is important for training at your maximum effort for long periods of time. Having a comfortable riding position while training helps you perform at your peak while reducing the risk of injury and discomfort due to being in gripping and unpleasant shape.
- Quiet Operation: Train Quietly Train at night or in the morning and do not want to disturb your spouse? Do you train in an apartment or condo where you do not want to disturb your neighbors? We have got you covered. The SB20 was designed with neighbors in mind! It operates quietly.
- Saves Space: Compact Design: It takes up minimal room when it’s not being used. Stages SB20 is able to conveniently fold saving you space when not in use.
Unlocking the Benefits of Stages SB20 Training
The Stages SB20 provides cyclists with a number of reasons to enjoy the ride, whether trying to improve power, enhance fitness or just take their workout to the next level:
- Better cardiovascular fitness: the best foundation for your workouts Indoor cycling is a fantastic way to get a cardiovascular workout. The SB20 allows you to structure your workout and performance with a degree of engagement that helps you get your heart rate and stamina up and maintain cardiovascular improvement over time. The steadiness of the work you do on the bike results in a stronger heart muscle, increased blood flow and a lower resting heart rate.

Developing Strength and Power: Building a Base
Resistance levels and power-production data from the SB20 allows you to target individual muscle groups, build strength and increase power output in specific areas that can be key to climbing better, sprinting from the gun or shooting up a short, steep hill, or improving efficiency overall. An athlete in search of strength and power development will be able to focus on a specific telemetry range, where a specific set of muscle groups are most easily and effectively engaged or strengthened. - Reduced injury risk: safe cycling. Indoor cycling is a safer experience than outside because it can reduce the risk of injury, such as from falls or common road hazards. It is useful for those getting back in shape after an injury or surgeries, people who might be afraid of traffic or spills and those who live in challenging weather conditions. Competitive SB20 sailors can train all year; indoor riding still get on the bike and train. And when you can’t find a riding companion or want to be on the road but have a family obligation, indoor training is an option. For fit and competitive SB20 sailors, indoor riding can also keep consistency in your programme when you’re not able to get out on the water — in the winter when ice covers the lakes or during school, work or family obligations with complicated schedules.
