The Sole LCB Upright Bike is an excellent bike for riders looking for various workout options on a machine similar to that in an elite gym. It is affordable, comfortable, and easy to navigate. In addition, the Sole LCB Upright Bike is well-built with solid steel tubing and designed to take the abuse that a piece of equipment would see in a gym-like atmosphere.
Sole indoor bike frames are virtually indestructible; all current models have lifetime warranties. The LCB Bike’s upright frame has about 100 pounds of steel tubing with an aluminum shroud. The whole machine weighs 132 pounds and has a 350 lb maximum user weight capacity.
The LCB Upright Bike has a 30-pound flywheel, providing a smooth ride and an excellent resistance range for most home cyclists. It also features 40 Electro-Magnetic System (EMS) resistance levels, a fully adjustable seat to fit most body sizes, heart rate monitoring through the Salutron hand sensor system, and a chest strap (sold separately).
The Sole LCB has a 10.1″ TFT LCD with a blue LED backlight and includes an iPod dock and speakers, a cooling fan, and ten different workouts. The display is more modern and offers a sharp image display that is easy to navigate and understand. For example, the screen tells riders their heart rate monitored through the handlebars, calories, levels, distance, bpm, and pace.
