Priced at £1795, the highly versatile new smart bike is designed to bring Wattbike’s cutting edge technology and proven free training app to a broader fitness audience.

The Proton can be easily and extensively adjusted without the use of tools, allowing users to seamlessly customise their position and optimise their workouts according to their individual training goals.

Effective and time-efficient training is at the heart of the Wattbike experience. The Proton supports a broad array of fitness goals, whether they relate to running, cycling, team sports or general cardiovascular fitness.

Wattbike has collaborated with top sports scientists and fitness experts to develop specialised training plans and workouts. These are available through the Wattbike Hub, a subscription-free app for all Wattbike users that controls the bike’s resistance and guides users through every workout.

Content on the Wattbike Hub has been overhauled as part of the launch, including new workouts tailored for runners and an enhanced user experience.

Wattbike research has shown that many Wattbikes have multiple users at home and for people who share their Wattbike, this range of adjustment makes it easy for different users to hop on and off. The Proton also accommodates a wide range of heights, from 4ft 6in to 6ft 6in, making it an accessible choice for all.

The Proton integrates seamlessly with all major apps (including Strava, Rouvy and Zwift) providing the same level of accuracy as its commercial products trusted by top athletes and professionals around the world. In developing the Proton, Wattbike has been uncompromising in its dedication to accuracy and build quality.
