Monark 828 E Ergometer Bike Overview
The Monark 828 E Ergometer Bike is the world standard for fitness evaluation, submaximal testing, and cardiac rehabilitation, serving as the modernized successor to the classic 818E:
▸ Global Standard in Workload Testing: Recognized worldwide as the premier test bike for standardized fitness assessments, research protocols, and clinical cardiac rehab.
▸ Reinforced Enclosed Design: Features a strengthened tubular steel frame, a fully housed flywheel shroud for enhanced safety, and an ergonomic user profile.
▸ Precision Calibration: Mechanical pendulum scale design allows rapid, exact calibration checks before and during active patient testing.
Clinical Performance & Ergonomics
Built to deliver consistent mechanical resistance, patient safety, and flexible positioning during exercise testing:
Heavy-Duty Balanced Flywheel: The 48 lb (22 kg) flywheel provides smooth pedaling inertia and true resistance feedback across high and low cadences.
Telemetry Heart Rate & Wattage Readout: Electronic console calculates effective power output in watts and captures wireless heart rate data via telemetry.
Quick-Adjust Handlebars & Saddle: Lever-actuated quick release allows swift handlebar angle adjustments and customizable seat height settings for diverse patient heights.
Reinforced Steel Frame: Solid steel tube construction ensures wobble-free stability under heavy workloads, with integrated wheels for easy transport across exam rooms.
