Types of Exercise Bikes:

Let’s gain a briefing of different exercise bikes that are available in the market and their functionalities. Either home or commercial gym, these bikes are the right choice for obtaining the best aerobic workout. 

Working Mechanism: The amount of force applied to the pedals against the resistance increases the intensity of the exercise. 

Upright Bikes: This type of cycling machine lets the user pedal the bike in an upright or racing position. Upright exercise cycle has a magnetic resistance system and some have a fan air resistance. Here the flywheels are much lighter thus allowing the riders to obtain different resistance levels. The pedalling just imitates the cycling of a traditional bicycle. Features with variable resistance, adjustable handlebars & seat, heart rate grips, balanced flywheel and an effective display console for monitoring real-time progress of time, speed, distance, calories burned and heart rate. Kindly check out our durable and remarkable indoor upright bikes Xterra Fitness UB120, Xterra Fitness UB150, Sole LCB 2020 Model & Stex S25UX.

Recumbent Bikes: Themajor difference between the recumbent bike from other bikes is its seating position. The bike’s seat offers utmost comfort with a padded backrest & oversized seat. It ensures a natural position like sitting on the chair and it typically gentle on the back and joints during exercise. Especially for those who have back pain, the recumbent bike is a perfect choice. Here are our highly-rated recumbent gym cycle Xterra Fitness SB150, Sole LCR 2020 Model.

Spin Bikes: A spin bike offers a realistic road ride in an indoor setting. Great equipment for cyclists to enjoy outdoor cycling at their home gym. The difference between the upright & recumbent bike is that the rider has to bend towards the front like real road cycling. Here the flywheels are directly connected to the pedals, making it operate like a fixed-gear bike. Indoor training with a spin bike strengthens the hips, thighs, calves, abs, and shoulders. Just take a look at our prominent spin bikes Inspire Fitness IC2, Sole SB700 & Sole SB900.

Air Bikes: The air bikes are visually similar to upright bikes, but their functionality and the working mechanism are different. Here the bike has a fan which is located near the pedals that offer an air-resistance system. While pedalling, the fan adds wind resistance i.e., the harder you pedal, the greater is the resistance. To diversify your cardio workouts, then don’t forget to look at our durable and reliable Air bike Inspire Fitness CB1.

Cardio Strider: The only difference between the Cardio Strider from traditional bikes is the pedal doesn’t move in 180° motion. It offers a low-step pedalling like a stair climber. The seating position is just similar to the recumbent bike with a comfortable seat and padded backrest. We have the low-impact Cardio Striders for effective cardiovascular training Inspire Fitness CS3.1, Inspire Fitness CS4.

Indoor Cycles: This is somehow similar to the upright bike but there are few differences. The handlebars are a little farther away from the seat that impels the rider to shift forward and it also allows users to stand while cycling. There is no heart rate monitor but a great bike for obtaining real road bicycling. Our Xterra Fitness MBX2500 is the top-notch indoor pedal exerciser. Just have a look at it!
