It’s no big secret that Greg LeMond knows something about bikes, and today he has focused his passion for cycling into developing exercise bikes that strive to increase individual performance. Driven by a desire to improve upon the “one size fits all” approach to designing exercise bikes, LeMond designed the new g-force UT to provide a custom fit for each person riding it, much like a standard road bike.
The g-force UT can be adjusted to fit different riders via highly adjustable handlebars and a seat that not only goes up and down, but also slides to the front and back as needed. In addition, this bike has a narrower, more natural pedal width, a seat post that easily accommodates any road bike seat and a wider base so users can comfortably pedal out of the saddle.
Every g-force UT model also comes standard with software that was created for LeMond Fitness by Training Peaks. For a one-time nominal fee, clubs can make the software available to members, who can download information about workouts and capture data – including time, distance, calories burned, heart-rate and intensity in watts. Easy-to-read charts and graphs allow users to quantify key statistics, and detailed diary functions also allow riders to input workout descriptions and personal workout details. The 13 customizable workout programs include three that are designed specifically for heart rate training, and are all geared to help users improve overall fitness and get more out of every workout.
Vision of a Champion
LeMond Fitness remains committed to innovative, exciting new health & fitness products.
When Greg LeMond became the first American to win the Tour de France in 1986, he could not have foreseen that shortly afterward he would be fighting for his life following an unfortunate hunting accident. Despite this devastating injury, Greg put together an amazing racing comeback, winning the Tour de France two more times – in 1989 and 1990 – and picked up many other titles and accolades as well, including being named the 1989 “Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year” before retiring from competitive cycling in 1990.
Throughout his racing career and beyond, Greg was always at the forefront of cycling innovations. From superlight frames and clipless pedals to aero-bars and carbon fiber forks, his passion for developing exciting new products to help individuals achieve their fitness goals and train more effectively remains the No. 1 driving force behind LeMond Fitness.
Today, Greg spends time nuturing young cyclists and continues to serve as the founder and chairman of the Board of LeMond Fitness. His “can-do” attitude guides the company to dream big, work hard and to never settle for less than the best.
