Giant Tempo™ Indoor Exercise Bicycle

Congratulations. You have purchased one of the finest indoor exercise bicycles made; the Giant Tempo™ indoor exercise bicycle. Whether you want to maintain your cycling form or improve your physical fitness, Giant’s Tempo™ indoor exercise bicycle can help you reach your goals.

Tempo™ is designed to allow you to duplicate the fit and feel of your bicycle, or to simply select a comfortable riding position for a custom fit that makes the bicycle feel like an extension of your body. From its sturdy and attractive tubular steel frame to the fully adjustable rider compartment, Tempo™ will become an important part of your total fitness program.

Giant, the world’s leading distributor of quality bicycles, has developed a truly remarkable indoor cycle with a list of features not found on other indoor exercise bicycles. For example, a ratcheted micro- adjustable tension control knob allows you to precisely set the exact amount of pedaling resistance. A standard direct-pull alloy brake mechanism, equipped with oversized felt pads, applies resistance to both sides of the 40-pound flywheel insuring a smooth pedaling action. Tempo’s™ dual-sided pedals feature SPD compatible clipless fittings on one side, while toe clips can be installed on the other side of the pedal.

Whether you want to go easy or hard, for a long time or just a short while, Tempo™ will make indoor exercise more enjoyable and beneficial.
