A - Accurate data
This is the basis of targeted and effective training. The Atom leaves nothing to chance with power accuracy of ±2%.
B- Bluetooth smart control
An essential for a smart bike, Bluetooth smart control allows software - such as the Wattbike Hub or a third party app - to control the resistance on your bike automatically.
C - Cranks
The Atom’s crank length is 170mm. You can use our Bike Fit calculator to help you get the best bike setup based on your current crank length.
D - Delivery
The Wattbike Atom is available for delivery within 5-7 days of purchase. Delivery costs start at £60.
E - Endurance training
This type of training is the Atom’s forte. Try one of the endurance sessions on the Wattbike Hub if you’re looking to improve your engine.
F - Footprint
The Atom is much smaller than its older brother, the Wattbike Pro/Trainer, with a footprint of 100cm (l) × 50cm (w) × 150cm (h - tri-bar & tablet holder fully extended). Perfect for even the smallest of pain caves.
G - Gears and gradient
The Atom features 22 gears and a gradient range of 25%, helping you to grind up even the toughest climbs on The Hub.
H - Hub
Our smart device app, the Wattbike Hub, is free to download and comes with lots of pre-programmed sessions and training plans, all designed to help you improve your performance whilst riding the Atom.
I - Insight
The Wattbike Atom measures over 40 different metrics in real time whilst you ride, giving you unrivalled performance insight.
J - Juliet Elliott
Multi-discipline cyclist and blogger, Juliet Elliott, gave us her first impressions of the Wattbike Atom in this video.
K - King of the mountain
Using Climb Mode on the Atom, you’ll be able to bag a virtual King of the mountain on Strava.
L - Lightweight aluminium
The Atom is constructed from this material. Weighing it in at just 44kg, the Atom can still withstand the immense power of elite athletes.
M - Magnetic resistance
Unlike the Wattbike Pro/Trainer, which uses air resistance, the Wattbike Atom uses magnetic resistance to keep you working hard, whatever your session.
N - New updates
We’re continually releasing updates to the Wattbike Hub app. Make sure you’ve got the latest version to enjoy the best riding experience.
O - Olympic athletes
Former Olympians Lizzie Deignan and Joanna Rowsell-Shand both add sessions on Wattbike Atom into their training schedules.
P - Pedalling Effectiveness Score
Effective pedalling utilises your muscles in the correct way, helping you ride faster, for longer. The Wattbike Hub shows your Pedal Effectiveness Score alongside a sliding scale for each leg, and the colour-coded breakdown acts as a guide to the most effective use of power.
Q - Queen of the mountain
Not forgetting the female Wattbikers out there, queens can conquer the climbs on the Wattbike Atom too.
R - Real ride feel
Perfected over 10 years working with elite athletes and world class sport scientists, the Atom offers the most authentic ride feel of any smart bike.
S - Smart device
We recommend using a smart tablet for the very best experience on your Wattbike Atom, but it’s compatible with lots of smart devices. Click here to view the full list.
