Thank You
For looking through our FAQ's
If you have any further questions,
Send us an email by clicking this link.
how is matchrider® different

Loaded with features and built from the highest of quality materials and manufacturing standards, MATCHRIDER® has 2 core points of difference. 1) Its ability to lean and turn using the body's full kinetic chain (exactly as a bike responds on the road) and 2) the unique capacity to provide both assistance and resistance. Controlled electronically by an internal motor the Matchrider is calibrated to current, so it is always "in tune" and silent. The bike is not fixed to an A-frame therefore free to move with the natural riding movement like when pedaling outside and depending on the route and conditions we dynamically provide assistance and resistance.

What is a Matchfile "video"

POV with all the biometric and location data embedded. The accuracy of the Matchrider's electronic control of more than 500 data points per second, enables us to replicate for the home user in real time and with extreme accuracy the exact conditions on the day a matchfile file was created. The more data collected on that ride the better the matching experience will be at home. This ability to match the biometrics feel whilst referencing visual riding techniques is extremely powerful and satisfying. This combined relativity in the POV is at the core of the matchfile's DNA.

what is "ride with the pro's"

Data collected from a pro riders computer is combined with the POV footage creating a file which can only be used with the Matchrider. The more data collected on original the ride the more accurately the matchrider will behave thereby providing a very immersive matching experience. Adding the mechanical freedom of movement to the mix as well as the visual trigger prompts elevates the insight of a pro riders approach to a whole new level. "This is what is mean by matching".

how heavy is it

just over 34 kilograms

where do i store it

Units can be stored in any room. They are aesthetically pleasant, lubricant free and virtually noiseless making them perfectly suited for remain in the living room or bedroom. They can also be srtored under a bed.

how do i set it up

Out of the box: 2 bolts and only 3 parts to assemble. Simply attach your bike and plug in power. Units should take less than three minutes to put together. Once synced with a smart device you. will be ready to ride.

what is the cost & is it financed

Units are available exclusively through our online store and select representatives. Financing will be available in different territories. Please refer back to the website updates.

how do i transport it

Matchrider is built to support lateral leaning during hard sprints by riders of all sizes therefore it is not light product. Weighing in at just over 34kgs it is built to last. It can however be broken into two smaller sections and packed in a specially designed flight case (accessory) or repacked into the original delivery box for on-shipping. Movement around the house on the other hand is quite easy using the wheels.

will it fit my bike

Yes, it is designed to fit all bikes from the smallest children's bike to the largest mountain bike. Both the front cradle and reel roller system adjust fully to various lengths. Different tyre widths are held snug by the 2 o-rings and supported further by the cradle side wings.

how do i put my bike on it

Our patented clamping system supports all types of bikes at the down tube and bottom bracket. This is to ensure (safe and protected) support for the sideways movement whilst allowing all the weight bearing lateral movement to move through the wheel axis exactly as on the road. The design allows the bike to flex naturally as mother nature intended. The clamping system has 3 areas that strap and tightened around the frame. Both a ratchet system a new snap handle design will be accompanying units in 2023. (strong safe and easy to fit).

can i use it without power

Unfortunately no. Matchrider® is controlled by an electric motor and so it requires power. Ridden the units unplugged will not damage them but it will create unusual resistance. As we peddle we force the rollers to turn counterintuitively, creating inconsistent power which in turnt equates to a ride that is not smooth.

can i use the power i generate

The amount of electricity generated is valued at less than one cent per hour (-1%). Therefore currently the cost involved to provide an output outweighs the add value benefit. However as we always look towards introducing efficacies we will frequently revisit this topic.

where can i try one

We encourage that everyone try a unit before making any purchase commitment. It is a tall order to fill when you claim to be "the road indoors". Select locations throughout the world will be made available starting with our signature store in Australia, then slowly expanding throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. Similar to Australia some territories may also have independent show rooms. Notifications will be sent as new locations come online as well updated on our web site.

can i trade in my old trainer

Unfortunately no, we are precision engineer manufacturers and do recycle obsolete trainers. Our philosophy is not to upsell a new platform every six or twelve months but to keep you excited year in year out with high quality content and all 3rd party platform compatibility.

what is the warranty

These units are built to last and come with a 2 year replacement warranty. Please see terms and condition as this may exclude units damaged or incorrectly maintained. For an additional US$179 this can be extended another 5 years.

where can I contact for help

Email us direct and we will come right back to you. Additional to any information on the web site, we can directly talk you through the basic checks and if needed remotely access any unit. Simply contact us and we will do the rest.

what is the optimized technology

Precision engineering and manufacturing processes with optimized mechanical, electronic and software technology in all of the design areas.

Is the unit quiet

Significant research and development including years of engineering knowledge has enabled us to create a virtually silent experience. This was part of the our original vision together with all other key feature solutions such as assistance and resistance and leaning stability,

Assistance & resistance

When connected to a smart phone, tablet or computer metro automatically sets the resistance via a third-party app. When used negatively through the Matchrider app and depending on the mode of operation you have full control of headwind tailed wind uphill downhill including the ability to adapt these in a structured sesssion.

Why is MR's "realistic road feel" different

This is a result of the Matchrider's combined patented technologies. Wide rollers, leaning/steering into turns, dynamic assistance/resistance as well high accuracy of data management. These combined technologies enable us to emulate inertia exactly as experienced during outdoor riding providing the most realistic ride field. Particularly y when using virtual riding/training platforms like SYSTM, Zwift, and TrainerRoad.

Can I change my physical environment

Yes as Matchrider simulates all grade changes in real-time with extreme accuracy and precision. These changes are transposed via the hardware for the rider via resistance but also as realistic motor assistance during downhill. In addition the units automatically adapt to third party software environmental inputs data as well as its own native via the Matchrider App.

What s the power accuracy

Proven power accuracy provides the most accurate power measurement of +/- 1% and generates up to 2640W of resistance and assistance. (POWER 2640 W and SPEED 80.1 KPH)

do I need to calibration

No, Matchrider continuously offers accurate power and doesn't require a calibration procedure.

App and set up

Download, update and connect, our simple yet intuitive app offers guided instructions on how to set-up up your unit and your bike. Similar information is also available on the site.

Do you support all crank sizes

Yes Matchrider supports 165, 167.5, 170, 172.5 and 175mm crank lengths.

How do I break/stop

Exactly as on the road, gently applying pumped rear breaks will give you. the same slowing/stopping result. Please keen in mind that as inter is still calculated in order to stop the rollers, minimal pressure needs to on the seat when applying breaks as well as care to not expose your tires ton unnecessary skidding wear.

Will leaning hold me safely in place

Yes the leaning has been tested to accommodate a 4 degree lock out on either side and with aggressive riding of heavy riders. There is a recommended limit of 187kgs to be taken into consideration. This safety threshold is a main contributor to the units physical dimension, material and weight.

can I control my grades

Yes

Can I create my own Matchfiles®

Yes for select functionality outside of out pro generated library. users will be able to create their own Matchfiles personal use or sharing with peers.

What grade of materials are used

Robust aero grade aluminum and bronze construction ensures the Matchrider will withstand years of heavy use. The units are designed and built for long term use and our philosophy is to provided a high end product that will not require replacement.

What about the rain of sweat

Sweat from hard workout sessions is not an issue as the design moves moisture away from the electronics using internal moisture routing channels. Care must be taken as there are electronics to consider but feel free to put the units to the sweat test.

what metrics does matchrider measure

Your unit is a high quality power meter in its own right. You get all vital cycling metrics during your ride including watts, cadence, speed and distance, without the need to connect to external sensors.

can I connect to third party platforms

Matchrider works with all popular training apps such as SYSTM and Zwift. For more details on which apps are fully compatible with the units please check periodically with the site.

Is there Ant+ and Bluetooth connectivity

Matchrider supports all protocols, capable of unlimited connections for a trouble-free workout. However only one unit can be controlled via the app at one time.

Which devices are supported

iPhone iPad iOS 13 (or newer)
MacOs (when paired with ANT+ dongle)

QUICK TIPS

Powerful & accurate, matchrider® is the most intuitive indoor cycling platform in the market. Designed for all, from a demanding pro-riders right to a newcomer learning to ride.

Following these tips will ensure
a perfect experience every Time.

Download App

Although the unit can be used without the app by simply turning on the power, the app provides further functionality allowing you access to various modes of operation. It also allows for the adjustment of the variable stability as well manual input of environmental conditions. (head/tail wind and uphill/downhill).

Enter correct weight

Matchrider is all about accuracy and dynamic calibrations of "real world" physics. The correct weight will need to be entered into the app in order for the unit to implement appropriate inertia. This is because the power to weight ratio is a major consideration in the units algorithmic calculations. Particularly within in the native modes as the level of accuracy here is "simulation" rather than "gamification".

Ensure the unit is level

Having a unit level is imperative. Ensure the unit is level by adjusting the feet as necessary to compensate for any floor unevenness. This process should be checked frequently particularly if ridden hard and always redone when the unit is moved to another location.

Tighten all 6 feet

Once the unit is leveled it is very important that the feet are secured in place. To do this we use the lock bolt. This process should be frequently checked if a unit is ridden hard and re-done if the unit is moved to another location.

Rear tire pressure 100+ psi

The recommended rear tire pressure is > 100PSI (similar to riding on a velodrome). If the tire pressure is not optimum, variance in watts may be noticed.

Attach bike correct to clamp

Attach the bike correct onto the clamp, focusing first on the bottom bracket hinge. Once completed this can be (to a degree) a set and forget. It is advised that periodic checks are done to maintain correct levels of attachment as the clamp is the conjoint between rider, bike and unit. This multidiscipline design solution is at the core of the Matchrider technology and ultimately what delivers the "real road" experience.

Snug fit b/w clamp & bracket

As the bike needs to be secured to the clamp so does the clamp itself require a very snug fit with the bottom bracket of the frame. This ensures that the unit & the bike become one and that all load-bearing energy gets directed away from the frame. From pedal stroke, through the bracket, through the rear wheel and out through the rollers. (exactly as the road).

Take 10 minutes and climatize

When a unit is first assembled and the bike is attached. It is recommended that a quick test run in freewheeling mode is undertaken. The unit does sit a little high and the initial feel of the roller as well the lean take about 5 minutes to get used to.

Familiarize variable stability

It is also recommended to familiarize yourself with variable stability. Controlled from the app the default stability/lean is set to 100 representing an A-frame feel. Moving towards "0" is more pro setting giving a sensation of rollers. Each rider has complete control over this.

Ride unit powered "on"

Although the unit can be ridden without power it is recommended that it is powered "on" when ridden. This is the best way to take advantage of the realistic motor feel from accurate pedal strokes. The unit can also be ridden without the app but is not recommended as a rider cannot change their environmental conditions. However a rider will still experience a realistic and natural road ride including all the support to lean and turn with a "default" environment of 75 kg rider weight, zero wind and zero slope.

Apply weight on seat to break/stop

When riding the unit and trying to slow down please use sensible breaking pumps to minimize friction or wear. Likewise if not sitting on the unit but wanting to break or stop the rollers, it is advised that some pressure be put on the seat prior to applying the breaks. The inertia calculations providing assistance to the motor in the absence of real pressure on the seat will allow the roller to roll frictionless.

Limitation guidelines

1) The maximum rider weight for the 4 degree leaning lock out is 85kgs. 2) Set up of unit and bike on unit, wheel pressure and clamp fit with bike are important pre-ride checks. Particularly important if undertaking rides with larger gradients of uphill slow speeds for prolonged periods of time.

SET TARGET WATT  

A target value is set (eg: 200 watts).  If the rider isn’t achieving the target value then resistance is increased to force the rider to output more watts.

Conversely if the-rider over powers the target value then  resistance is reduced until a smooth constant is achieved. The matchrider constantly servos either side of the value depending on the rider’s average power output.

MATCHING
POV & EMBEDDED
BIOMETRICS

Matching performances 

Matchfiles are a unique concept. 

dedicated POV RIDING sessions with embedded biometric data re-ridden on a Matchrider®  in “Matching MODE”. the sole purpose of these files are to provide increased insight into pro standard riding competency, Achieved by matching biometric effort whilst adhering to the riding techniques in the POV. 

Matchrider® is the only Trainer in the market providing true ASSISTANCE and RESISTANCE using “targeted SPEED” to match “real time” efforts of a rider with that of the origin file.  behind the scenes a “graded” differential between rider and the origin file is tracked  which allows you to manAge your progress while improving your riding skill.  a one of A kind, experience exclusive to Matchrider’s® mechanical and electronic superior design.         

“WE ARE CONTINUALLY BUILDING A LIBRARY OF EXAMPLES THAT CAN HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IS REQUIRED TO RIDE AT YOUR GOAL LEVEL.  IF IT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN B AND C GRADE AT A LOCAL CLUB RACE, OR WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A WORLD TOUR RIDER, RIDING A MATCHFILE CAN HELP YOU FEEL WHAT IT TAKES”.

IN the POV, WE EMBED CADENCE, GRADIENT, SPEED, RIDER WEIGHT, HEIGHT AS WELL THE WATT OUTPUT OF THE ORIGIN SESSION.  A user LOADs A MATCHFILE on  the APP, selects Matching Mode and simply Presses play.

“THE MATCHFILE STRUCTURE IS BUILT TO AUTOMATICALLY PLACE YOU IN THE GRADE YOU ARE CAPABLE OF.  BY MATCHING HOW THE SOURCE RIDER IS RIDING AT YOUR FITNESS LEVEL, WE THEN GRADE YOU ACCORDINGly.”

MATCHFILE DNA

Used with the discipline of matching speed as well the visual riding style from the video a rider can experience WHAT really HAPPENS WITHIN THOSE MICRO SECONDS OF RACING A BIKE. THOSE EXTRA 1/2 PEDDLE STROKES THAT HAVE YOU EITHER HOLDING THE WHEEL OR BEING DROPPED.  POSITIONING AND MEASURING  EFFORTS ARE JUST A FEW OF THE SKILLS  PROFESSIONALS UTILIZE WHEN RACING. “THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE” becasuse STEPPing BACK looking only at AVERAGES or ONCE OFF MAXIMUM SPEEDS DOESN’T TELL THE WHOLE JOURNEY. That is  what Matching mode replicates  and what immerses cyclists when riding a MATCHFILE…

MATCHFILE’S GOAL 

riding a Pro- matchfile:  In the Long Term the goal Is to get to an “A”  Grading or better using  target Speed and POV for technical relativity. In the Sort term, the goal is to find your personal GRADE level & by keeping to it gradually improve your overall riding skill.  GOAL for personal: Re riding  you “own file” as (non pro) the goal is work towards “a” GRADE or better equally utilizing the target speed and POV relativity.    

“GRADING TAKES PLACE IN THE BACKGROUND, WHILST ASSISTANCE OR RESISTANCE ARE APPLIED IN REAL TIME”. 

THE GRADING:

THERE ARE DIFFERENT GRADES DEPENDING ON THE MATCHED (TARGET) SPEED. THE USER FILE BEGINS AT AN F GRADE AND MOVE THROUGH THEM UP TO A OR EVEN  A+ BASED ON THE MATCHING SPEEDS. A = 100%, B = 80%, C = 60%, D = 40% , E = 20% WITH F FREE RIDING.

TO BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THE (SPEED) MATCH, YOU HAVE TO OVERCOME THE SAME RESISTANCE IN WATTS FROM THE MATCHFILE RELATIVE TO YOUR OWN HEIGHT/WEIGHT, INCLUDING THE REQUIRED GEARING TO ACHIEVE THE TARGET SPEED. FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU ARE THE SAME WEIGHT & HEIGHT AS THE MATCHED RIDER & ARE RIDING IN B GRADE, IF THE MATCHFILE IS PRODUCING 500 WATTS YOU ARE ASKED TO PRODUCE 400 WATTS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE SAME SPEED. IF YOUR OUTPUT IS 500 WATTS OVER A 5 SECOND PERIOD THE SYSTEM WILL BRING YOU UP TO A GRADE. IF YOU CANNOT MAINTAIN THE MATCHING (SPEED TARGET) IT WILL DROP YOU BACK TO B GRADE AND SO ON.  THE GOAL IS TO FIND THE GRADE THAT MATCHES YOUR FITNESS LEVEL AND MAINTAIN OR IMPROVE ON IT.

To be able to achieve the (speed) match, you have to overcome the same resistance in watts from the Matchfile relative to your own height/weight, including the required gearing to achieve the target speed. For example if you are the same weight & height as the Matched rider & are riding in B Grade, if the Matchfile is producing 500 watts you are asked to produce 400 watts in order to maintain the same speed. If your output is 500 watts over a 5 second period the system will bring you up to A grade. If you cannot maintain the Matching (speed target) it will drop you back to B grade and so on.  The GOAL is to find the Grade that matches your fitness level and maintain or improve on it.

MATCH

RIDER

"Natural riding on the road is not a smooth constant and as such the matchrider® provides assistance to simulate inertia & resistance to counter acceleration. It does this by collecting 500+ data points per second within each pedal stroke for a precise calculation from explosive acceleration to an abrupt lull".
