Almost five years after the launch of the Atom 'Next Generation,' Wattbike has today unveiled the next 'next generation' of its popular 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:smart bike platform.

Called the Wattbike Atom Uplift, this latest iteration has a definite sense of my favourite phrase – evolution, not revolution – about it, and with five years having passed since the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:previous Wattbike Atom crossed the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Cyclingnews reviews desk, it's a real tes🌼t o🥃f one's memory to notice the differences. 

They include a different saddle, a switch from silver le꧃gs to black, the addition of quick-release – and thus tool-free – adjustments, and according to the British brand, a host of internal erg-mode updates. 

The♛ brand says the updates were formed on the ba🦋ck of feedback from over 2000 existing Atom owners. 

On the erg mode adjustments, the brand says the latest Atom Uplift now delivers smoother, more stable resistance adjustments, though it's not said exactly what internal changes we🐟re made to achieve this. 

One of the more visible changes, the quick-relea💞se adjustability, comes at the handlebar, and at the saddle. The previous iterations used allen key adjustment for the saddle fore/aft and the handlebar reach, utilising quick release only for the saddle height and handlebar height adjustments. 

The Uplift prioritises quick adjustment throughout, with a shift to quick-release leveꦿrs at all four pointꦰs, allowing users to adjust their position without tools. 

This is more in line with competitor smart bikes such as the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Wahoo Kickr Bike Shift, and the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Zwift Ride, although the latter adopts a unique a🎃pproach of offering hex key adjustment with a mꦜagnet-mounted tool built into the bike's frame. 

One missing adjustment, however, which was released as an optional extra for the Zwift Ride as part of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Zwift's announcements just last week, is crank length ad﷽justment. The Atom Uplift has stuck with a fixed crank leng🅷th of 170mm and comes fitted with a dual-sided pedal. 

The other functional hardware change comes at the saddle, in the form of a switch to a model that the brand describes as 'more ergonomic option for both male and female riders.' This is still a Wattbike-branded saddle, but by 🍬comparison to the outgoing model, it is wide🦩r and more padded. The brand says it has been 'designed for maximum comfort during long rides.'

The other area to see a change is the Wattbike Hub app, which gets the addition of simplified navigation and access to replicas of real-world climbs. The brand says the new erg mode improvements also mean improved analysis within th🌊e app, too. 

Finally, the app has been given an expanded 'Get fit in 2025' training series, which serves as a training plaꦛn for time-crunched athletes to follow. 

The new model will be priced at £2,495 and begin shipping💯 immediately. International shipping, and indeed pricing, will be confirmed later in 2025.

Cyclingnews has the latest model in for test, and will be putting it through its paces for a full review in due course to see how it compares to the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:best exercise bikes and smart bikes on the market.
