The WattRate® TFT Computer 2.0 with its own power supply has a fully integrated TFT colour display and a front LED display. This enables the patented simultaneous display of the individual load to the user and the trainer. The various screen displays include a variety of important training data, such as watts, heart rate, cadence, training duration and resistance level. Five mechanical buttons ensure simple and intuitive navigation even during training. Training data can be exchanged with external devices (e.g. ICG® App or ICG® Connect) via Bluetooth 5.0. The new computer also allows flexible FTP value adjustment during the training session.
WattRate power measurement
Power measurement in watts represents a new era in indoor cycling. Just like heart rate monitors, which originated in professional sport and are now widely used, power measurement is slowly finding its way into popular sport. Power measurement in watts is also playing an increasingly important role in indoor cycling. WattRate is ICG's answer to this trend. The technology behind it measures the power output of the user in watts and displays it on the WattRate computer. This data can then be used for targeted training control.
Functional Threshold Power (FTP)
Functional Threshold Power (FTP) is one of the key values in performance-orientated indoor cycling. But what exactly is this continuous power threshold? The FTP parameter is generally defined as the highest wattage power that a rider can maintain continuously for one hour in a classic time trial. Considered individually, FTP is therefore the best comparative value in cycling. The higher the value, the more powerful the athlete.
The FTP test determines the individual performance threshold and enables the calculation of personal training zones. Within a step test, the power to be achieved increases by 25 watts every 4 minutes. The aim is to stay within the specified range (+/- deviation from the required value) for as long as possible. A green area indicates to the user that they are within the required range. If the range is red, the deviation from the target value is too large. At the end of the test, the personal FTP value is determined.
The individual training zones can then be defined on the basis of the test result and displayed in colour on the WattRate computer. This enables motivating and effective training control for individuals and entire training groups.
Coach By Color training control (user and trainer)
Colours are a powerful tool in communication and have universal validity - red means "hot", blue stands for "cold". Controlling by colour (Coach By Color) is one of the simplest, most universal and binding ways of communicating. Colours influence human reactions and interactions in many areas of our lives. The colours used in ICG's Coach By Color programme are intuitive, established and motivating, making them the most appropriate way to control a user's intensity during training. The Coach By Colour principle enables the respective visual indication at the right time and thus ensures a fast, transparent and effective way of training control. The principle of controlling via colours connects the user more strongly with the training and also creates a new form of group dynamic in the course area or when training in small groups.
COACH BY COLOR comprises five coloured training zones:
white - very easy - 55%
blue - easy - 56-75%
green - moderate - 76-90%
yellow - intensive - 91-105%
red - maximum - 106-150+%
The training zones are based on the current performance in relation to the individual FTP value (Functional Threshold Power). The same principle of calculating training zones applies when using the maximum heart rate (HR max.) and a compatible chest strap. As soon as the HR max. or the individual FTP value is known, the personal training zones can be calculated accordingly and thus the intensity can be displayed using colours during training based on heart rate or watts.
These digital Coach By Colour workouts, developed by the ICG Master Trainers, guarantee high-quality and motivating training control. Depending on the training goal, different workouts can be selected or created. During training, the colour of the computer screen simply needs to be matched with the colour of the workout. It is now possible to upload personal data from the ICG Training app to the WattRate computer via Bluetooth and save the data of individual training sessions. This makes monitoring individual training success even more effective.
ICG TRAINING APP
With the ICG Training App, workouts can be created, started, saved and shared with others. Intuitive navigation allows instructors to configure their own courses, synchronise them with music and then use them during the class. Personal trainers can also conveniently share workouts they have created with their clients via the app.

ICG CONNECT
ICG Connect is a digital system for visualising training data for the entire group and individual participants. It combines classic indoor cycling with state-of-the-art technology and performance with entertainment.
Equipment:
- WattRate power measurement - The WattRate Power Meter (ISO 20957-10) provides a precise display of the power output in watts. This is achieved by a patented factory calibration of the drive system to precisely determine the kinetic energy stored in the flywheel and the measurement of the braking resistance using a magnetic field sensor
- WattRate TFT colour display computer - An LED indicator above the display also offers the option of using Coach By Color. The various screen displays include a variety of important training data, such as watts, heart rate and cadence, training duration and resistance level. Five sensor buttons ensure simple and intuitive navigation even during training. Via Bluetooth and ANT+ it is
now possible to exchange training-related data with external devices (including ICG Connect & ICG Training App)
- Integrated generator - the integrated generator with LiPo battery supplies all electronic components on the bike as well as the full-colour WattRate® TFT computer 2.0 with energy. This makes the bike independent of the power grid and also avoids cost-intensive battery changes
