HAS WHEELS IN MOTION FOR 2015 CYCLING SUCCESS


Olympic champion, Laura Trott OBE, signs for Matrix Fitness cycling team

Matrix Fitness is delighted that World and double Olympic cycling champion, Laura Trott OBE, will be joining the Matrix Fitness cycling team in 2015. The current British road race champion will move to the team with effect from 1 January 2015, and will ride a program of key events that complement her track racing commitments and intended build up
for the Rio Olympic Games in 2016.

Commenting on the signing, Jon Johnston, Managing Director of Matrix Fitness said:

“Laura brings a new dimension to the team in her role as ambassador for cycling and as a role model for young people. She is still only 22 years old, but she has already achieved so much. I cannot think of a better person to inspire youngsters to get active.”

Dani King MBE launches IC7 Indoor Cycle

“The most relevant, smoothest, static bike I have ever trained on!”

Olympic Champion cyclist and ‘Team Matrix’ Ambassador, Dani King MBE, officially launched the power-based Matrix IC7 Indoor Cycle and Coach by Color® Power Program to the UK market at Leisure Industry Week.

The IC7 is the latest product in the Matrix Fitness portfolio to be ‘Powered by ICG®’, and boasts indoor cycling’s first two-stage drivetrain, which enables the market’s most accurate (+/-1%) direct Wattrate® (Power) meter. The bike’s performance metrics are delivered to the rider via the patent-pending Coach By Color® Training Console, which vividly displays the user’s effort and power in various coloured zones.
