In this exercise bike review we will mention a few of the most popular models on the market.
Reviewers say the Lifecycle C7i (upright) and recumbent R7i are the best you can buy if money is no object. They're packed with features usually found only in gyms. Life Fitness offers a lifetime frame warranty, along with three-years on parts and one-year labour.
Reviewers say the NR 2000 isn't as full-featured as the recumbent Lifecycle R7i (above), but it does have sixteen resistance levels, ten pre-programmed workouts, and a long warranty.
Reviewers say the upright Schwinn is excellent value. Though it lacks the bells and whistles of the Life Fitness and Nautilus above, it is simple, durable construction and backed by a long warranty (thirty years on the frame and one-year labour). Experts say the wide seat and high handlebars make the Schwinn just as comfortable for long rides as shorter intense ones.
