How Easy is the Indoor Cycle to Build?
The Sprint Racer 2 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 Indoor Cycles 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.
What's it like to ride?
Excellent. The 20kg flywheel coupled with the belt drives
makes this bike very quiet and extremely smooth. If you're wondering whether
this will match up to the spin bike in your class then the short answer is
"yes - it will feel better!": - Because of the belt drive the ride is
very quiet and very smooth - The friction resistance works extremely well which
enables you to make the workout as easy or hard as you like, and of course you
can vary this resistance during your workout by turning the adjuster knob as
you cycle. - At high speeds and/or resistance, when you're putting more strain
on the bike, it still feels very stable and solid. There's no frame distortion
which demonstrates the qualiity and strength of the frame. - The console shows
good information including speed, distance, time and calories burned.
Any niggles?
No - this is our best friction brake bike for the price.
Anything else to add?
This is an indoor
cycle that's very easy to live with. There's no routine maintenance, other than
keeping the bike clean. If the drive belt needs adjusting then it's very easy
to do but it's something that you won't need to do very often.
Overall
Impression?
Although priced as an entry level bike, it's far better than that.
In fact we challenge you to find a bike of this specification and quality
anywhere else. Buy one and you won't be disappointed.
