Excalibur Sport with Pedal Force Measurement
The standard in Sports Medical diagnostic and performance testing with Pedal Force Measurement

The Gold Standard in Ergometry
With proven accuracy and reliability, the Excalibur Sport is renowned worldwide as “the gold standard in ergometry”. The newly designed and improved Excalibur Sport ergometer meets the latest requirements of modern sports medicine and research. Since athletes are becoming more and more powerful and testing more advanced than ever, this ergometer has been developed for extreme workloads up to 2500 watt! The new design ensures maximum stability at these high workloads. Thanks to the increased adjustability, versatile positioning of the test subject has never been better! This Excalibur Sport has built-in modified strain gauge technology that measures forces exerted on the pedals during exercise and is supplied with angle detection. Independent measurements of forces in both left and right crank are possible. Wireless transmission of the measured forces to the PC by blue tooth.
Note: this setting is supplied with LEM and LEM PFM software (various other modules are available), a computer (we recommend to use this PC only for the LEM software) and an interface cable.
Overview

Highlights
Reliable and reproducible stress tests
The experience of professionals who calibrate many ergometers has learned that the Lode ergometers are the most reliable over the complete workload and rpm range and still within specifications even after many years of intensive use.
Extreme workload range of 8 - 2500 watt
The extraordinary workload range of 8-2500 watt is unique in the world! It makes this ergometer extremely suitable for sports medicine and testing the strongest athletes in the world on their anaerobic power or isokinetic capacity
Read out of seating position
The Excalibur Sport has a unique read-out of the seating position on the display of the Control Unit. The display shows saddle height & angle, handlebar position vertical & height.
Heavy Duty Design
The Excalibur Sport is designed for heavy duty sports medicine ergometry, without doing any concession on the esthetic, modern and robust design. In other words: Excalibur Sport: the gold standard in Ergometry!
High standards
Lode is a social and environmental responsible company.
All Lode products are RoHS/WEE compliant.
Furthermore, Lode is ISO 9001:2003, ISO 13485:2008, FDA 510K, IEC 60601-1 and DIN 13405 certified.
Features
Compatible with ECG and pulmonary devices
The Lode ergometers have both analog and digital interfaces and can be controlled easily by all known stress ECG and pulmonary devices available in the world. This is one of the reasons why the Lode ergometers are very popular worldwide.
7 Watt start-up load
Extreme low start up load
The extreme low start-up load of 7 watts and the adjustability in small steps of 1 watt make this ergometer perfectly suitable for many different applications. The standard control unit shows multiple ergometry parameters and you can determine your specific default setting and start-up menu.
Accurate over a long period of time
The Lode ergometers have an electro-magnetic braking mechanism of Lanooy (eddy current). The biggest advantage of this braking system compared to a friction braking system is that it is more accurate. Moreover, friction braking systems have more wearing parts.
1 Watt adjustment
Small adjustment steps
The workload of the Lode ergometers is adjustable in steps of only 1 watt. Depending on your wishes, the test operator or the test subject can adjust the workload. The steps of 1 watt are possible in the manual mode as well as within protocols.
Versatile controls
Additional features with PCU
Besides the possibility to program 24 protocols easily, this control unit offers the following features:
- better monitoring because of the additional and larger display
- a perfect combination with BPM
- possibility to measure SpO2
Sweat proof
Designed to be sweat-proof
The housing of the ergometer is designed in such way that sweat does not have the chance to drip into the mechanical parts. This ensures a long lifetime and makes the ergometer insensitive for malfunction.
Compatible with click pedals
The bicycle ergometer is compatible with most avaialble clickpedals to allow for maximum user flexibility
Adjustable handlebar Excalibur Sport
Theposition of the handlebar of Excalibur Sport is completely adjusatble in height and length
Adjustable saddle Excalibur Sport
The position of the saddle of the excalibur sport can be adjusted in height, length and angle to suit all users
Adjustable P-Slope
Instant maximum load
By selecting P-slope max the ergometer immediately reaches maximum power

FAQ

Q - Where can I find more information on wingate testing

http://www.wingateforum.com

Q - In what range are the handlebars of the Corival and Excalibur adjustable?

The Corival handlebar is adjustable within 0-360 degrees.
The Excalibur Sport's handlebar is adjustable in both vertical (465- 855 mm) and horizontal (229- 600 mm) direction.

Q - What is Eccentric ergometry

During Eccentric or negative ergometry you have to resist against a workload produced by a motor instead of an electromagnet, see article prof. Folgering: Effects of positive and negative exercise on ventilatory CO2 sensitivity.

Q - Is it possible to control the Lode ergometers and treadmills with external equipment

Yes, you can find interface sheets for most common devices on the website at the support section of this website. If your device is not present you can ask us to support you. In most cases we can quickly provide you with a solution.

Q - What is a torque factor?

The Torque factor is used to calculate braking Torque during Wingate sprinttest. Torque factor x body weight = braking Torque this is used in this test. Lode is using 0.7 as the default Torque factor for normal healthy test subjects. Athletes will need a higher Torque factor to get their optimal braking torque, women slightly lower, testsubjects with severe obesity, muscle atrophy, muscle dystrophy etc will need a lower Torque factor (see lt. Bar Or).

Q - Is it possible to request RPM and Load data through the RS232 port while cycling in Manual mode.

Yes you can request the actual pedalling speed and power when you are cycling in Manual, Analogue or Terminal mode.
The load will only be returned when the pedalling speed is 30 RPM or more. For technical details see the Lode RS232 protocol
