Above and Beyond Physical Rehabilitation – The XTerra SB540r has the Smallest Q Factor in the Industry

Through research performed with a leading sports scientist and physical rehabilitation expert the engineers at XTerra have developed a breakthrough in pedal design. Typical stationary exercise bikes are wider than a normal road bike to allow for the braking mechanism, pulleys, drive components and cosmetic covers. Since those bikes are wider, so is the distance between the pedals; this width between the pedals is called the Q factor.

Q-Factor
Q-Factor 7.0″

Xterra has designed their pedal system so the Q factor is the smallest in the industry, but they did not stop there. XTerra Fitness also custom designed and tooled a new pedal that provides a two degree inward tilt to compensate for the Q factor not being perfect. Having a small Q factor in addition to the two degree inward tilt of the pedals puts the user into a biomechanical neutral alignment. This means that your feet, ankles, knees and hips are lined up properly so you can workout more comfortably for a longer time.

Proper Seat Adjustment

With your heel on the pedal your leg should be straight or a bit over extended. Then you pedal with the ball of your foot on the pedal and there is a bit of flex left in your knee.

  • Pain in the front of your knee usually means too much leg bend.
  • Pain in the back (rare) usually means to little bend.
