- During this mode, riders would need to take a 3-minute PTP test.
- During this time riders will be asked by the instructors to commit 3 minutes of high-intensity biking so the PIQ system can gather data.
- After the 3 minutes, the PTP mode will display different intensity zone for each individual rider based on their PTP value.
NOTE: It is recommended to use the PTP mode after 3 4 songs into the class. This is just to allow your riders to warm up and prepare for high-intensity biking.
Calculate PTP (A) - Once the class is warmed up, you need to click on the calculate PTP button. This will start the 3-minute timer for the PTP calculation.
Watts (B) - Displays real time watts coming from the bike.
RPM (C) - This will display the riders RPM.
Bike Number (D) - This will display the riders bike number.
The different zones are:
Blue Zone - <60% Easy for recovery. E.g. warm up, cool down and recovery training.
Green Zone - 60 69% Moderate for improving base endurance. E.g. Long duration exercise and for weight loss.
Yellow Zone - 70 79% Hard for improving fitness level and endurance. E.g. endurance workouts.
Orange Zone - 80 89% Very Hard for improving fitness level quickly and effectively. E.g. high-intensity interval training.
Red Zone - 90+% Maximum for maximum performance and the ability to push limits. E.g. peak intensity levels.
The PTP mode helps encourages the riders to bike faster. On this screen, the riders can see their real-time data and the riders also can see how well the rest of the class is doing.
