Monark Exercise AB Monark has 100 years’ experience of bicycle production. The Monark tradition has yielded know-how, experience, and a real feel for the product and quality. Since the early 1900s, Monark’s cycles have been living proof of precision, reliability, strength and service. Those are the reasons why we are now the world leader in cycle ergometers and the market leader in Scandinavia in transport cycles.

For a brake-force to be correct, regardless of the system, it must be calibrated and controlled. On LC4 the brake system and calibration have been updated so that it is safer and more accurate. LC4 has also a new and more powerful engine for faster workload control.
Serial number The serial number is located on machine plate (4) LC4 is set to measure the workload at the flywheel. according to Fig: Overview. The bike can be set to work with effect in the pedals / crankshaft (the cycle constant).
