For individuals looking for a riding experience which most closely matches that of traditional road bikes, a spin bike is for you. Also known as indoor bikes, these machines use a weighted flywheel as the source of resistance as opposed to the magnetic resistance used in most upright and recumbent bikes. Typically the seats on Spin bikes are positioned higher than those found on upright bikes and situate the user in a forward-leaning position, similar to road bikes, and are the most effective at achieving high intensity workouts out of all exercise bike styles. However generally these bikes are less feature packed than upright and recumbent bikes, and often do not include built in workouts, pulse grips and heart rate monitors, or even a console or display unit. When it comes to spin bikes, the value is in the quality of the riding experience, not in the bells and whistles commonly found in other exercise bike alternatives.

Exercise bike brands

Each exercise bike brand offers its own unique design, features, and warranty structure, so it is important to explore what each brand has to offer when considering your purchase and decide whether it will be useful to your workout. For example ProForm and NordicTrack will usually have a good range of built-in workout programs and iFit technology built-into their exercise bike consoles which you may find useful for your workout. If you were looking for a bike with a longer warranty and smooth resistance then a Horizon Fitness upright bike may be your choice. Other brands include York Fitness, Tempo, and Spirit Fitness.
