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.

Schwinn AC Performance Plus Indoor Cycle | Authentic Bike Feel

by

If you’re looking for an indoor cycling bike that mimics the realistic feel of an outdoor bike, then the Schwinn AC Performance Plus Indoor Cycle is the bike for you. The Schwinn AC Performance Plus is well-built with a rust-proof aluminum frame with 350 lbs (159 kg) maximum user weight capacity.

The Carbon Blue Belt Drive technology that the Schwinn AC Performance Plus Indoor Cycle utilizes offers an authentic outdoor ride feel and is virtually maintenance-free (belt drives don’t require oiling like chain drives). In addition, this Schwinn indoor cycle features a carbon fiber reinforced belt with teeth for maximum durability and an authentic bike feel.

This Schwinn indoor cycle also incorporates Virtual Contact Resistance Technology, which means that the magnetic brake doesn’t contact the flywheel, thus eliminating the friction and wear you get with other types of bikes. Furthermore, the 6-Magnet brake system gives the cyclist a smooth ride and allows consistent control.

The Schwinn AC Performance Plus indoor cycle features a micro-adjustable seat and incorporates lightweight performance handlebars with ErgoLoop, aero bars, and a 12-degree incline. Also, the Schwinn AC Performance Plus comes with double-link pedals with SPD and a toe-clip combination.

Marcy Air-1 Air Resistance Bike | It’s Not Just For Cardio Training

by

I like the Marcy Air-1 Air Resistance Bike features durable rectangular steel tubing. This model’s frame is quite sturdy and can hold up to 300 pounds in maximum user weight without fail. There is also the fact that the Marcy Air-1 Fan Bike comes with stabilizers so you can adjust the legs to be even on uneven ground.

Another thing that I like about Air-1 is that it comes with mobile handlebars. Most other exercise bikes only focus on your legs and the cardio side. However, these mobile handlebars allow the Marcy Air-1 Air Resistance Bike to give your arms and upper body a workout.

The Marcy Air-1 Air Resistance Bike comes with an oversized and extra-padded seat. This will help keep your bottom comfortable and prevent soreness while riding. Moreover, the seat is also highly adjustable to suit users of various sizes.

Although the Air-1 not an exercise bike with a full range of bells and whistles, it’s perfect for home use, offering the possibility to perform a wide range of cardio exercises. It also includes a fitness monitor, showing time, distance, RPM, speed, and calories burned simultaneously.

by

The Schwinn Airdyne AD7 Bike combines the latest air resistance technology with unmatched durability and performance. Thus, allowing you to reach your full potential in the comfort of your own home. So whether you use it to bring your HIIT workouts to a new level or require the perfect total body cardio workout, the AD7 delivers versatile and challenging workouts.

The AD7 also has a large flywheel with 26 rotating air blades to move air through the fan. This air bike has unlimited maximum resistance since it will generate power with each rider’s ability. Of course, the harder you pedal and pull, the more resistance there is, so air bikes are a favorite of serious athletes and CrossFit lifters.

The Airdyne AD7 is the only Schwinn air bike with workout programming beyond manual mode. Its LCD fitness monitor lets you select nine options: interval workouts, heart rate zone monitoring, and riding for targets of distance, time, and calories. These programs can’t control the bike’s resistance or speed, but they show feedback to guide your exercise intensity.

The AD7 is an impressive air bike. It is quiet, easy to use, comfortable to sit on, has infinite resistance, multiple hand positions, an upgraded intuitive fitness monitor, and is easy to navigate. I recommend the AD7 as a good option for anyone looking for a quality air bike.
