Inspire Fitness IC2 Indoor Cycle | Heavy-Duty 53-Pound Flywheel

by

The Inspire Fitness IC2 Indoor Cycle features a heavy-duty 53 lb balanced and polished chrome flywheel and utilizes a poly-v-belt drive system for smooth and quiet performance. It also has an impressive maximum user weight capacity of 400 lbs (181.4 kg). It’s a heavy-duty exercise bike that supports all kinds of spin workouts.

Simulate an authentic road-bike feel with the Inspire Fitness IC2’s friction-based resistance knob and direct pressure brake (durable leather brake pads). This puts you in total control of your ride – sit or stand as you cycle, adjust the tension, and use the brake to simulate riding on different terrains such as flats and hills.

The Inspire Fitness IC2 indoor cycle has an easy-to-use blue-backlit LCD fitness monitor. It displays feedback as you cycle, including speed, RPM, time, distance, calories, and heart rate with an optional Polar-compatible wireless heart-rate chest strap. Unfortunately, this accessory does not come with the bike.

The Inspire Fitness IC2 Indoor Cycle is fully adjustable to give different users the ideal riding position. Both the seat and handlebars are adjustable up and down as well as forwards and backward. In addition, the IC2’s pedals are dual-sided for cage or SPD so you can use the bike with or without bike shoes.

Schwinn 270 Recumbent Bike | Enhanced Bluetooth Connectivity

by

The Schwinn 270 Recumbent Bike is an excellent low-priced bike for home use and is Schwinn’s top recumbent model. This model should fit most needs as its maximum user weight is 300 lbs. Overall, the Schwinn 270 Recumbent Bike represents excellent value for money and is hard to overlook.

There are several great recumbent bikes on the market, and the Schwinn 270 is one of the top options. It possesses the features you would expect in a quality exercise bike and a wide selection of useful options to customize your workout experience.

What I like the most about the blue backlit dual-monitors is the number of programmed workouts it provides, 29 in total, which is fantastic for this price range. In addition, there are nine heart rate control programs, four custom programs, two fitness tests, and one quick start.

I should also mention this monitor is Bluetooth enabled – Syncs with the Schwinn Trainer App and other fitness-tracking apps. Plus, you can even have some fun with Virtual Reality if that’s your thing and have a ton of fun taking virtual rides with the free downloadable RideSocial App (real-time).

XTERRA Fitness MBX2500 Indoor Cycle | Bring Adventure Home

by

The XTERRA Fitness MBX2500 Indoor Cycle is perfect; whether you’re looking to shed a few pounds or prepare for the bicycling adventure of a lifetime, bring home the training power you need. It doesn’t just look amazing with its sleek styling – the innovative rear drive frame design combines the quality and high performance that XTERRA Fitness has become known for with features that riders of all fitness levels can appreciate.

The main attraction, besides the price, is the XTERRA’s heavy-duty resistance system. A hefty 48.5 lbs precision-balanced flywheel is chrome plated to prevent corrosion and has a protective shield around the outer edge to help avoid touching the moving flywheel during workouts. You can manually shift among eight resistance settings.

Another selling point is the bike’s small size; the machine is under five feet long. Still, the MBX2500 is more massive than most spin bikes (weighs about 105 pounds) and can support a 300-pound rider. In addition, both the saddle and handlebars are adjustable for excellent ergonomics.

For tracking performance, the MBX2500 has an LCD fitness monitor. It has an RPM graphic and simultaneously shows the elapsed time, calorie estimate, distance, speed, and pulse. I also like how the bike is compatible with a wireless heart rate transmitter and provides other exercise feedback.

Octane Fitness Airdyne ADX Fan Bike | Great for Interval Workouts

by

The Octane Fitness Airdyne ADX Fan Bike allows you to work out as hard as you want to! For this purpose, the high-quality AirdyneX Fan Bike utilizes a large 27″ 26-blade performance fan wheel and a single-stage belt drive for instant activation that combine to deliver smooth and consistent momentum.

This inertia drive system ensures smooth motion and safe and quick transitions from sprints to stops. With the Airdnye ADX’s air/fan resistance, you can control your workout. Your efforts go directly into generating resistance as air/fan resistance works on the premise that the faster/more challenging you pedal, the more intense the resistance becomes, effectively allowing for unlimited resistance levels.

With its moving handlebars, the AirdnyeX Fan Bike enables you to work both your upper and lower body in unison, or you can rest your feet on the stationary foot-pegs to isolate an upper body workout. In addition, the moving handlebars feature multi-grip positions, so you can find the most comfortable hand placement for you or work with different muscle groups depending on hand placement.

To help keep you motivated, the AirdyneX Fan Bike comes with an easy-to-use Tachometer that visually displays how hard you work out. In addition, it features an easy-to-view LCD screen that displays motivating workout stats and offers various HIIT and target workouts.
