Sunny ASUNA Lancer 7130 Indoor Bike | Perfect Choice for Home

by

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.

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.

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.
