The First Degree Fitness Fluid Fitness Cycle XT is simple to understand, extremely comfortable to use, great to look at, fabulous to listen to and boasts unmatched durability and value. Our design engineers were asked to create an Upper Body Ergometer (UBE) and Recumbent that would allow for seated and standing use. With our rotating crank arm and removable seat, the Fluid Cycle XT offers the greatest variation of application.

They combined this with our patented Fluid Technology, providing for both extremes of resistance as well as forward and reverse direction. We believe this combination of unique features make the First Degree Fluid Cycle XT the ideal choice.

With its unique combination of Recumbent Cycle with seated and standing Upper Body Ergometer, the Fluid Cycle XT can isolate and work virtually every muscle and joint, in both forward and reverse direction.

Best of all, the Cycle XT changes exercise function in seconds, with instant rotation of the counter-balanced crank arm. With its variable resistance Fluid Technology, multi-function application and ease of adjustment, the Fluid Cycle XT is the ideal total body conditioner.

Why an Upper Body Ergometer?

An Upper Body Ergometer (UBE) engages virtually every muscle in the upper body, in a similar fashion to an exercise bike for the lower body

As a cardiovascular apparatus, it offers similar benefits to a cycle

As a warm-up for resistance training, it provides better activation of the upper torso than the traditional alternatives

When used in the standing position, the UBE engages all core muscles of the mid section

It is also widely used as an aid to the rehabilitation of many injuries and as a general exercise apparatus for those in wheelchairs

Why First Degree Fitness?

First Degree Fitness was created to develop Fluid Technology as a resistance system and apply this to a range of products that suit everybody, from general exercisers through rehabilitation to competitive athletes.

Why Fluid Technology?

To understand what we mean, just try one of our unique products, close your eyes and be captivated by the experience. We blend the essence of indoor and outdoor exercise in a manner that no other apparatus can offer.

• The most consistent, linear resistance system available

• The ability to vary resistance from 'feather light' to 'Olympic sprint' at the touch of a lever

• The essence of simplicity – no maintenance and only one moving part

How Fluid Technology works?

• Two chambers are contained within the tank. The inside chamber stores a variable amount of water

• Resistance is generated by moving the impeller blades through the water in the outside tank

• Resistance is varied by allowing more or less water into the outside tank

• This is achieved simply by moving the adjustment lever Fluid Cycle XT
