g•force RT recumbent bike.
This g•force RT Owner’s Manual will help you get the most enjoyment from your new recumbent bike.
It not only explains all the important features, programs and safety considerations of the
g•force RT, it includes great workout tips and riding profiles, including how to use our popular heart-
rate training programs. If at any time you have questions about this information, please call us directly at
(425) 482-6773 and we will be happy to help you. To help us answer your questions quickly, we recom-
mend having the serial number of your bike ready when you call us. The serial number of your bike is
located on the front tubing near the bottom of the bike.
The g•force RT has been tested by some of America’s most famous cyclists. Our company founder,
Greg LeMond, is the force (the g force) behind the inspiration and design of this remarkable indoor bike.
Greg’s story is one of courage and heroic accomplishment. In 1986, Greg became the first American to
win the longest and most physically demanding event in the world — the Tour de France. Only nine
months later in April of 1987, he narrowly escaped death when he was accidentally shot in a hunting
accident. During a long and painful rehabilitation, he set a goal that many considered inconceivable:
to once again win the Tour de France. In 1989, he achieved that goal and then proved it was no mere
stroke of luck by winning the Tour a third time in 1990.
A legendary athlete, Greg introduced many cycling innovations during his racing career. Just as aero
bars are now commonplace, the g•force RT will be the new standard in indoor fitness bikes. The
g•force RT combines Greg’s passion for cycling with exceptional product innovation. Built to deliver
an incredible workout, every component of the g•force RT has been designed to be more innovative,
user friendly and comfortable than any other indoor bike you have ridden. Whether you are a beginning
fitness enthusiast or a highly conditioned athlete, you will immediately feel the difference.
Attractive and cordless, you can position the g•force RT anywhere in your home for maximum enjoy-
ment. Starting with how quiet a g•force RT workout is, you will quickly discover that the g•force RT
gives you a better cycling experience than any other indoor exercise bike.

1 BEFORE GETTING STARTED
It is always important to consult a physician for a complete physical examination before starting any
exercise program. Beyond identifying any risk factors you may have, your health professional can assist
you in developing an exercise program which establishes the frequency and intensity appropriate for
your age and current health status.
The g•force RT is an excellent choice for overweight or severely deconditioned individuals in that it
provides more seat adjustability and the lowest pedaling requirement of all other fitness recumbents.
However, if you consider yourself such an individual, you should still exercise caution when using this
equipment for the first time. Overexertion or the possibility of injury exists when starting any new exer-
cise program.
CAUTION: If at any time during a workout, you experience pain or tightness in the chest,
an irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, feel faint or severe discomfort of any kind,
STOP exercising immediately. Consult your physician before continuing your program.

2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Save these Instructions
This Owner’s Manual contains all the information necessary to operate the g•force RT in a safe and en-
joyable manner. Please read and understand the contents of this Owner’s Manual in it’s entirety before
attempting to operate the g•force RT .
• The g•force RT was designed for indoor use only. Choose a location that is clear of any obstruc-
tions, including walls and furniture. Leave a minimum of 12 in (30.5 cm) ft clearance on each side of
the bike.
• The display console of the g•force RT uses four AA rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH)
batteries.
Never replace with conventional alkaline batteries.
Doing so will damage your
electronics and void your warranty.
• Keep the area around your bike clear while in use.
• The g•force RT was designed for users between 58 in (147.3 cm) and 80 in (203.2 cm) in height.
Children who meet the height requirements should be closely supervised when using the bike.
• Keep very young children, disabled persons and pets away from the g•force RT while it is in use.
Children, and pets in particular, may find the repetitive motion of the pedals fascinating, and this curi-
osity may result in injury. Do not allow any child or pet to touch the bike while it is still in motion.
• Keep all loose clothing, shoelaces, cords and towels away from pedals and other moving parts. Shoe-
laces, in particular, can become entangled in the pedal mechanism, causing serious discomfort or
injury.
• Do not place fingers or any other objects into moving parts of the equipment.
• Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
• Never turn pedal crank arms by hand. To avoid entanglement and possible injury, hands or arms
should not be exposed to the drive mechanism.
• Always wear appropriate shoes while riding the g•force RT .
• Use the g•force RT only as described in this manual. Attachments or modifications not recom-
mended by the manufacturer will void the warranty.
• Do not attempt to remove the side panels of the g•force RT. Service should be completed by
an authorized service provider. Please call the LeMond Fitness Customer Service Department at
(+1) 425.482.6773 between the hours of 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. M – F Pacific time for assistance.

All equipment manufactured by LeMond Fitness, Inc. has been thoroughly inspected by the manufac-
turing facility prior to shipment. Proper installation and regular maintenance of the g•force RT is
required to ensure the safety of the operators.
3.1 Location
It is to your benefit to choose a suitable location in your home for your new recumbent bike. The
g•force RT was designed to be an unobtrusive and attractive addition to your home. A smaller profile
and much quieter drive mechanism than other recumbent bikes, allows the bike to be situated and used
in almost any location in the home with a minimum of disruption. Make sure that the chosen location
provides adequate room for the equipment while it is in use. The physical dimensions of the assembled
bike are listed below.
Choose a setting that is comfortable and appealing and that will encourage you to continue with your
fitness goals. A cool and dry location will make the time you spend exercising on the g•force RT more
enjoyable and will extend the life of the bike.
