The typical upright has a free spinning magnetic flywheel; the pedals stop moving when you stop pedaling. The upright has features such as a console, programs, and a wider more comfortable seat. A spin bike is designed to mimic a road bike. The drive system and pedals remain engaged; with the flywheel revolving, the pedals still are revolving as well. These bikes are designed for indoor cycle training, or to be used in high-intensity spin classes.

This is a common concern in exercise bike FAQs. Indoor stationary bikes use one of three types of resistance to provide tension to make pedaling harder or softer. An upright air fan bike has a large open air flywheel where the resistance increases only when you pedal faster. Air resistance bikes don’t have adjustable resistance; you simply pedal faster to create more wind resistance and make the workout more difficult. The second design uses mechanical resistance provided by a tension belt wrapped around a flywheel. It is adjusted with a tension knob mounted on the frame located in front of the cyclist that controls the brake pads applying pressure to the strap. The last and most modern design uses a magnetic resistance flywheel similar to what is used on elliptical trainers. The manual magnetic brake system is adjusted with a tension knob. On an electromagnetic resistance bike, the tension is increased or decreased electronically with the touch of a button on the console which in turn moves a magnet closer to or further away from the flywheel. Electromagnetic resistance bikes are the most expensive but they offer smooth performance and are maintenance-free.

Yes, you can adjust your seat up and down as well as forward and backward so that you always have the most comfortable position when working out.

Yes! You can change the direction you are pedaling with no problem, just start cycling in the direction of choice and enjoy cardio exercises comfortably.

Definitely. Your upper body does a fair share of work when it comes to cycling. With this bike you can work out your shoulders, back, biceps and chest using the tension ropes / resistance bands. Being strong in the upper body also allows users to hold a better position on the bike.

Bikes are delivered within 3 to 5 working days of placing an order. If express delivery is selected during checkout, the bike should be with you with 1-3 working days.

There’s a reason that spin classes are getting more popular every year at gyms and health clubs, with spinning currently the number two most popular choice for exercises classes at gyms. (Losing out to Yoga, if you’re wondering!)

So is this a good form of exercise? A recent study was the first of it’s kind into spin cycling. It was unique in that it combined the different health benefits of indoor cycling, where previous studies had looked at one specific effect such as how indoor cycling effected blood pressure.

The study found there was a number of really positive benefits to health including:

• - Decreased blood pressure
• - Aerobic fitness
• - Cholesterol
• - Losing weight without losing muscle mass

The study also found that combining working out on a spin bike with working with strength training yielded the best results.
