Live with intention.
The Ciclotte One is the entry to the Ciclotte range: the same single-wheel frame, here in steel and wood. A 40 cm flywheel of 5.5 kg turns at an 8:1 ratio against electro-magnetic resistance, set from the LCD display or over Bluetooth. Made in Italy.
The frame is one circle, and the circle is the machine. A 40 cm flywheel of 5.5 kg turns at an 8:1 ratio, so one turn of the pedals is eight of the wheel — the inertia of a far larger flywheel from a footprint of 111 × 49 cm.
Resistance is electro-magnetic. The magnets never touch the flywheel, so there are no friction pads to replace. Levels are set from the LCD display on the handlebar or over Bluetooth.
The handlebar adjusts in height and angle, the gel seat in height. Maximum user weight is 118 kg. Steel and wood throughout, and 85 kg of it, so the bike stays where it is put.
The Ciclotte One is built in steel and wood around a 5.5 kg flywheel driven directly, with resistance set from an LCD display. The Ciclotte Carbon is built in steel and carbon fibre around a 10 kg flywheel driven through a pulley turn-multiplier, with ten resistance levels set by remote or app.
The Ciclotte One measures 111 cm wide, 49 cm deep and 111 cm high, and weighs 85 kg.
The Ciclotte One is rated for a maximum user weight of 118 kg.
The Ciclotte One runs on 110 V or 220 V.
In Italy. Ciclotte was designed by Luca Schieppati and is produced by Multi Design Srl in Bergamo. BENESSI carries it as part of the Benessi by Ciclotte collection.
One turn of the pedals is eight turns of the flywheel. The ratio is what lets a 5.5 kg wheel of 40 cm return the momentum of a much heavier one.
