Why the Stages SC2 with its RhythmBar™ is the Best Studio Bike for Rhythm Cycling
When it comes to indoor cycling, the Stages SC2 is the industry’s top choice for rhythm-based classes—trusted by leading boutique studios and premier workout facilities worldwide. At Indoor Cycle Pros, we’re proud to offer this commercial-grade gem as part of our exclusive Stages Cycling collection.
What makes the SC2 the go-to bike for rhythm riders and instructors? It starts with its standout feature: the Stages RhythmBar™.
What Is the Stages RhythmBar™?
The Stages RhythmBar™ isn’t just another handlebar—it’s a purpose-built innovation created with direct input from the world’s top rhythm cycling instructors. Unlike traditional handlebars, this comfort-coated aluminum bar offers natural, choreography-friendly hand positions. Paired with the SC2’s CarbonGlyde™ belt, the RhythmBar™ delivers a smooth, immersive ride designed for beat-based classes.
Why the RhythmBar™ Stands Out
Multi-Position Ergonomics
Supports all rhythm hand positions—low, mid, high, and wide—for a natural grip and reduced wrist strain. The ergonomics of the Stages SC2 are unmatched in the indoor cycling space.
Road-Inspired Geometry
Mimics drop-bar positioning to blend studio comfort with choreography-ready positioning.
Studio-Proof Coating
Comfort-coated aluminum resists sweat and wear for long-term commercial use.
Benefits for Rhythm Riders
Comfort for Long Rides
Reduces hand and wrist fatigue, ideal for 45–60-minute rhythm classes.
Fluid Choreography
Transitions between hand positions feel seamless, supporting push-ups, tap backs, and sprints.
Unmatched Ride Smoothness
The 5:1 gear ratio and perimeter-weighted flywheel combine to create the industry's smoothest ride—delivering an unmatched studio bike experience for rhythm cycling.
Custom Fit for Everyone
Perfect for riders from 4’10” to 6’10” with fast, intuitive adjustments using the StagesFit™ system.
Why Studio Owners Love the SC2
Top instructors didn’t just inspire the RhythmBar™—they helped build it. The bar’s responsive design empowers instructors to teach dynamic classes while maintaining a consistent rider fit across sessions. Studios love the low-maintenance, high-performance components like the CarbonGlyde™ belt, optional Stages Power Meter, and easy-to-clean frame design.
