Spinner L7 Lifestyle Series Indoor Cycling Bike | Authentic Road Bike Feel

by

The Spinner L7 Lifestyle Series Indoor Cycling Bike, released in 2017, is an authentic Mad Dogg Athletics spin bike. It shares many similarities with the Spinner L3 that I’ve previously reviewed here. Still, this model offers a few extra features. With this in mind, it comes equipped with a heavier flywheel and provides superior micro-adjustability to the handlebar.

It features a rust and sweat-resistant, powder-coated steel frame supporting up to 250-pounds maximum user weight. It has a 36-lb perimeter-weighted flywheel and drivetrain that provides a smooth and authentic road bike feel.

Moreover, Dual-Sided SPD-compatible pedals and a large wedge-designed commercial handlebar offer micro-adjustability for a more comfortable grip. Furthermore, the Narrow Q factor and incremental fore/aft saddle adjustability make for a comfortable and ergonomic fit.

SPINtv puts the power of a studio legacy boasting more than 250,000 Spinning instructors worldwide straight into your home. An ever-growing online library of unique rides streams directly to your Wi-Fi-enabled TV or favorite mobile device. SPINtv offers a diverse selection of routines, training styles, and durations led by world-class Spinning instructors.

PYHIGH S2 Indoor Cycling Bike | Outstanding Value for the Price

by

The PYHIGH S2 Indoor Cycling Bike has a fitness monitor that tracks time, distance, speed, and burned calories. In addition, it also comes with a standard friction resistance system consisting of a felt pad attached under the frame’s main bar.

You can increase or decrease the resistance by turning the knob or pushing it for a quick stop, as it acts as an emergency brake. The seat and handlebars are adjustable, the saddle is 4-way adjustable, and the handlebars are 2-way adjustable.

The 35 lb (16.9 kg) flywheel is perimeter-weighted and designed for high inertia and smooth momentum. Furthermore, it comes with TPI bearings, which offer you a much more stable and comfortable exercise experience. The anti-slip foot pedals are suitable for all sizes and come with an adjustable strap.

The PYHIGH S2 is the lighter version of the PYHIGH S7 that I’ve already reviewed here. It’s an indoor cycling bike made for home use but does offer very sturdy construction and can support most spin workouts.
