Both the variable triathlon handlebars and the racing saddle adjust horizontally and vertically to ensure optimal training position.
Amazon.com Product Description
Incorporate one of the most efficient forms of calorie burning into your daily workout with the Kettler Racer GT indoor exercise cycle. Boasting a sturdy frame suitable for variable body sizes and exercising positions, the Racer GT brings hardcore, endurance-type riding into your living room, basement, or rec room. The cycle is shaped like a classic racing bike, with both upright and triathlon handlebar options (the triathlon option includes elbow pads for added comfort). Now you can lean into the handlebar just like at the velodrome, bringing a similar intensity of focus to your ride. The training computer, meanwhile, measures such details as speed, time, pedal revolutions, exercise distance, total miles, calorie consumption, pulse, and more, with a fitness rating from one to six.
Other details include a jumbo LCD display, a belt drive system with a chain guard, a smooth-running flywheel, a magnetic braking system, an adjustable racing saddle, and transport castors on the front for easy storage. The Racer GT, which measures 48 by 48 by 21 inches (W x H x D), offers a maximum capacity of 287 pounds and carries the following warranties: lifetime on frame, three years on parts, and one year on labor.

Comment: I spent much energy and time wrestling this box into my gym, unpacking it and putting it together. No easy task. I then exitedly tried this spinning bike and found it completely unacceptable. It was very difficult to adjust and I could not get the handlebars secure. they wobbled substantially at every weight change. I took the bars off and made sure I had them properly put on, which I did. This product is not worth $1200. by any stretch. My old spinning bike...a $300 hand me down was substantially better. I then had to take it apart, repack it and drag it to the sidewalk for pick up. What a mistake. I CANNOT recommend this product. thank goodness Amazon has a great return policy!!

The bike arrived nicely packaged and went together easily. Very sturdy. The thing I do not understand is the resistance. From the product description, I expected the resistance to be controlled by the computer... but it was not. The resistance is controlled by a mechanical knob, and I could not figure out how to make it work. Other than the resistance, this thing is very solid.
Thankfully, Amazon took it back without putting up a fight... which was a great relief... otherwise I would be gun-shy about buying such an expensive item without knowing exactly what it was.
I get the impression that Kettler products are well engineered and built, which is why I bought this... but unfortunately the resistance mechanism is a fatal flaw on this particular product.
