Most famous for itsAtom range, one of thebest exercise bikeson the market, Wattbike is ready to tone down the hardcoreness a notch and we’re here for it.
Its latest innovation, the Proton, is a smart bike designed to make every family member feel like a pro – even if the last competition you won was a potato sack race.
Competitively priced and with no hidden subscription fees to access hundreds of workouts, the Proton brings the high performance and pinpoint accuracy Wattbike is famous for into your home.
The new indoor bike arrives in a market that’s seen a massive dip in interest after the pandemic and subsequent lockdown(s), where everyone’s keen to get into shape.
During those weird years, companies did their best to ramp up production to meet the increased demand, only to be forgotten immediately after people returned to their old lives once lockdown measures were eased.
As such, Wattbike knew it had to come up with a concept that works in this ‘new normal’ environment. It started working on the idea of the Proton around 18 months ago, addressing new customer and market needs.
The design is based on extensive customer research; thousands of Wattbikers shared their fitness goals, daily routines, and, yes, even their love-hate relationship with burpees.
