Categories Exercise Bikes 12 Comments

The Sole B94 Upright Bike is the lowest-priced upright exercise bike from Sole Fitness. While it has some high-end features, this compact unit is for home gyms and not commercial settings. The B94’s vertical frame weighs about 100 pounds and has a 300-pound weight limit.

This model allows ten preset programs to bring organization to your workouts and make it easy to get working. Two heart rate-controlled workouts, six standard applications, such as Hill and Interval, and the two user-designed programs are saveable. The 9″ LCD shows speed, time, distance, resistance, pulse, watts, and RPM.

A complete wireless telemetry system on the B94 bike (HR chest strap included) helps users do most workouts and assess fitness progress. Additionally, for a non-wireless option, grip heart rate sensors are integrated into the handlebars.

Sunny ASUNA Lancer 7130 Indoor Bike | Perfect Choice for Home

Categories Exercise Bikes 5 Comments

One of the Sunny ASUNA Lancer 7130 indoor bike’s main benefits is that it has a rear machine-balanced 33-pound flywheel that guarantees an entirely solid workout experience, no matter how hard you pedal. In addition, the bike is virtually silent in operation because it has a tranquil pedal system and a belt drive system that makes no noise.

Another positive benefit of this ASUNA 7130 bike is that it is suitable for all fitness levels because there are 16 magnetic resistance levels. In addition, as with all good spin bikes, there is a lever right in front of you that can move upwards or downwards during your workouts to increase or decrease the intensity.

The seat connects to a high-grade aluminum post that is light and easy to move whenever you need to adjust the height or move the seat closer to or further away from the handlebars and has a little extra padding to provide more comfort. The handlebars are just as comfortable to adjust and benefit from having multiple hand grip positions to accommodate different riding styles in both seated and standing positions.

PYHIGH S2 Indoor Cycling Bike | Outstanding Value for the Price

Categories Exercise Bikes 7 Comments

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.
