Zycle Smart rollers, and the Smart ZBike, are compatible with the main simulators on the market through the standard ANT+ FE-C protocol and/or Bluetooth Low Energy.
Before pairing your Zycle roller or Smart ZBike with the device to which you have downloaded the simulator, first complete some preliminary checks:
1. Check that your Zycle roller or Smart ZBike is correctly connected to the power supply. To do this, this simply check that the LED is continuously illuminated in green.
ANT+
Connect the *ANT+ USB antenna that is included with the roller or Smart ZBike to the PC. Check that the necessary drivers are detected and installed on the first connection.
* USB ANT+ not included in versions with FTMS enabled.
Bluetooth
If you want to pair using Bluetooth communication, make sure the Bluetooth on your PC, Tablet or Smartphone is turned on.
Each simulator manages roller pairing differently; in some of them with Windows, the roller must first be compatible with the operating system.
As a reminder, the Bluetooth connection is one-to-one. If your Zycle or ZBike roller is connected by Bluetooth with a PC or a Tablet, it cannot be connected to another device at the same time.
A compatibility chart of our Zycle rollers and ZBike with the main simulators in the market depending on the type of wireless communication is shown below.
