Folding Magnetic Exercise Bike X-Bike Fitness Cardio Workout Weight Loss Machine

Product Information

What this means in real life terms is a bike that has a slightly racier geometry, which sits in-between the Triban and the Specialized Allez. After riding for more than an hour, the seat was still very comfortable and did not provide any soreness. The pedals are a little different than most, so you will want to place your foot so that pedal is perfectly aligned with the middle of your foot and not the ball or heel.

The main differences, which are still marginal, are however in the riding position, with the Brand X Road Bike constructed with a slightly shorter chainstay (410mm compared 425mm), shorter head tube (155mm compared to 165mm) with an ever so slightly steeper head and seat tube at 73 and 74 degrees accordingly (0.5degrees steeper). Pedaling is very easy at first if you have not turned up the tension level. There are 8 tension levels seen that allow for easy to moderate resistance. While the highest level is difficult, it is definitely much easier than many other bikes in this price range. Many people will see this as a fault, but this is meant to be an exercise bike for losing weight, which means speed and resistance must be kept around an adequate level.The fully adjustable cushioned seat gives you a comfy platform, whether you are utilising the recumbent or upright position, and the large 1 window LCD Display is easily viewable from either.

A small data screen shows your speed, mileage, calorie burn and time elapsed. The monitor is battery-powered. You can ride the bike without the monitor if you wish, and the bike doesn’t need to be plugged in to work. Unlike the X-Bike Duo monitor, the basic X-Bike monitor doesn’t include built-in workout programs nor a connection to iFit Coach for immersive personal training… so you might want to park the bike in front of a TV to pass the time. The console does have room for your mobile device or a magazine though. Any makeshift repairs, adaptations, or changes to modify this product from its normal purpose and function as described in your user’s manual.Customers are at the heart of what they do and they're proud to have been providing great value bikes and cyclingequipmentfor over three decades.

It is worth noting that while having a flywheel design, this bike is very quiet and not too heavy. When you are done working out, you can fold up the bike and place it in your closet for easy storage. After assembly, you will want to sit on the very comfortable seat and make adjustments to the height. While the manufacturer has not put a limit on the minimum height a person should be, the consensus is that this bike is not ideal for people under 5’4. Riders as tall as 6’2 have stated that they can fully extended their legs on this bike, which is not common at this price range. The big jumps in gear size creates a seemingly constant position change from in to out of the saddle as the undulation of the terrain changes. I found myself leaning on a gear a while longer than a bike with a bigger cassette, knowing that if I shifted too soon, I'd loose my rhythm.
