Stages SC3 Indoor Bike
Product Description
The Stages Cycling SC3 is a premium commercial indoor cycling bike engineered for performance training, rhythm cycling, HIIT and instructor-led studio classes. Trusted by leading indoor cycling studios and fitness operators worldwide, the SC3 combines a lightweight aluminum frame with CarbonGlyde™, magnetic resistance, FitLoc™ and SprintShift™ for a smooth, responsive ride and simplified commercial maintenance.
At the core of the SC3 is Stages Power direct power measurement, delivering accurate and consistent rider data, together with the self-powered SIC2 EcoSCRN™ console for real-time performance tracking. Designed to bridge professional cycling technology with commercial fitness, the SC3 supports everything from power-based training and intensity classes to rhythm, virtual and freestyle cycling sessions.
Product Information
The SC3 combines road-bike-inspired geometry with commercial durability and advanced rider data. Its CarbonGlyde™ drive featuring a Gates® Carbon Drive™ carbon-fiber belt, high-inertia perimeter-weighted flywheel and 5:1 gear ratio deliver a smooth feeling of inertia, while FitLoc™ and StagesFit™ adjustments allow fast and secure bike setup for riders from approximately 147 to 208 cm. Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity further support connected training and performance tracking.
Key Features
Accurate Direct Power Measurement
The integrated Stages Power meter uses direct crank-based measurement to deliver reliable, real-time power data with ±1.5% accuracy, bringing the same performance measurement technology used in professional cycling into the indoor studio environment.
SprintShift™
The unique three-stage SprintShift™ lever enables rapid, macro-level resistance changes without continuous dial turning. Riders can instantly increase or decrease resistance during HIIT and interval workouts while retaining precise micro-adjustment control.
SIC2 EcoSCRN™ Console
The self-powered SIC2 EcoSCRN™ console displays real-time and stage-based performance metrics including power, cadence, heart rate, speed, kilojoules, distance, calories and time. Rider-generated energy powers the console without external power or console batteries.
Quick Adjustments with FitLoc™
The FitLoc™ adjustment system provides fast, intuitive and secure handlebar and seat height adjustment. Designed to adjust up to five times faster than standard twist-to-lock systems, it helps facilities set up bikes quickly between riders.
RoadBar™ & StagesFit™ Positioning
Stages’ RoadBar™ handlebar combines road-bike-inspired geometry with simple saddle and handlebar fore/aft adjustments, helping riders achieve a comfortable and performance-focused riding position.
Magnetic Resistance & CarbonGlyde™
The magnetic resistance system works with the CarbonGlyde™ drive featuring a Gates® Carbon Drive™ carbon-fiber belt, 5:1 gear ratio and perimeter-weighted flywheel to deliver smooth resistance and a realistic feeling of outdoor cycling inertia.
Low Maintenance, High Reliability
With no chain lubrication, traditional resistance pads or routine belt-drive maintenance required, the SC3 is designed to reduce maintenance requirements and increase equipment uptime in commercial fitness facilities and cycling studios.
Commercial Training Versatility
Designed for professional and commercial indoor cycling environments, the SC3 supports performance training, intensity-based classes, rhythm cycling, virtual classes and instructor freestyle sessions, making it suitable for a wide range of studio programming.
