Our Review of the Diamondback 910lc Indoor Cycle
Time for another review. This time it's a new bike for us, all the way from the US, with stock hopefully arriving in the next few weeks.
What are the first impressions?
First and foremost this is a great looking bike. The detailing on the bike is exceptional - a great example being the Diamondback logo on the seat. OK, so this doesn't make the ride better but it does show the attention to detail that has been lavished on this bike.
How Easy is the Indoor Cycle to Build? As with most indoor cycles, the Diamondback 910lc is simple to assemble. Full instructions and tools are included and if you're not sure about something then you can of course call us for advice.

Waters Fitness Indoor Cycle - Now in the UK
We’re always on the lookout for new and interesting indoor cycles. That’s why we are particularly excited at finding that the Waters Fitness range is now available in the UK.
For those of you who don’t know about Waters Fitness let us give you a quick history lesson. Waters Fitness is owned by Greg Waters who is well known in fitness circles – he’s been around for some time and has been involved in designing a number of fitness products that have raised the bar in terms of both quality and performance. What’s particularly interesting is that Mr Waters was at one time working with Trek who are one of the worlds largest (and leading) manufacturers of performance road cycles. Given the specification of the Waters range of indoor cycles it seems that he’s incorporated a number of the key outdoor bike features into the range of indoor bikes. That’s great news if you’re a keen cyclist who’s considering training indoors on an indoor cycle.
The first Waters indoor cycle to hit these shores is the Tsunami Pro which not only looks the part but the specification is also fantastic too. It also happens to be built in one of the best indoor cycle factories in the world.
So, as we said at the top, we’re excited that the Waters range is now available in the UK and we’re looking forward to hearing about your experiences with the bikes.

Our Review of the Sprint Racer Indoor Cycle...
How Easy is the Indoor Cycle to Build?
The Sprint Racer indoor cycle is very easy to build. Attach the stabilisers at the front and rear of the bike, drop in the seat and handlebars, attach the pedals and console and you're ready to ride. Takes about 15 minutes in total.
What are the first impressions?
This indoor cycle has been designed by us and it incorporates all of the good things that you'll want in an indoor cycle:
- Adjustability of the seat and handlebars (both horizontally and vertically) is very easy to do so that you can achieve your optimum position
- The bike is easy to move because of the transport wheels on the front stabiliser bar, so you can move it out of the way when you've finished using it
- 20kg flywheel is a great size for this price of bike
- Belt drive so there's no real maintenance on this bike - Console gives good feedback when cycling
Smart Training...
From time to time a new spinning bike style exercise bike is
introduced into the UK that has the potential to completely change the way that
we think about getting fit. It’s possible that the Kettler Racer S indoor cycle is one such exercise bike.
Why do we say this? Not only is it a great spinning bike with all of the features that you’d expect from a quality spinner, but it also has the ability to work with your iPhone or Andoid smart phone. Significantly, this means that you can use your phone to download training apps that will in turn control the level of work that you do on the bike. Imagine eating a burger for lunch and then wondering how much spin training you need to do to burn off the calories – well, with this bike and the right training app you need wonder no more. The app will work out the number of calories that you’ve consumed and tell the spin bike how hard to work you during the training session to burn off those calories. Clever stuff…
Of course, you can do far more with this spinning bike than just burn off burger calories – with an increasing number of apps and compatible mobile devices it means that more of the Great British public have access to personalised training regimes to suit their needs. How about cycling through the Lake District, with all of it’s panoramic views and undulating routes, without actually leaving your house. It’s all becoming possible with app based technology available on the Kettler Racer S spinning bike.
What’s even more impressive to someone like me (who likes crunching numbers and can see through gimmicky tech pretty quickly) is that the data that is collected during your training sessions can then be uploaded to the web so that you can accurately track your performance and increasing fitness levels.
All this from a spinning bike? Well…yes. There’s a premium price tag of course but if you’ve got the budget and like your mobile devices then the Kettler Racer S is definitely a spin bike that you should be looking at.
